Anti-Shepherds


“Woe to the shepherds who destroy and scatter the sheep of my pasture!” declares the LORD.
Jeremiah 23:1

They are bold.
They are loud.
They confidently gather a crowd.

They are evil.
They use shame
to control a people and increase their fame.

Having an appearance
of false godliness
they give off an air of smug worldliness.

They mock.
They deride
anyone else not on their side.

They don’t care.
They aren’t right.
They often live and die for the fight.

Lives are destroyed.
Churches a pig pen
filled with gospel-less legalistic doctrine.

People are scattered.
But podcasts and web posts proliferated
as the love of Christ is obliterated.

Purveyors of hate…
Their end is prophesied.
God will destroy all shepherds apostatized

God has declared.
Jesus will lead.
The sheep will thrive on the gospel they heed.

Woe to false shepherds
who destroy and scatter!
Only the gospel is what will ultimately matter!.
