A Poem – The Saturday Morning Post by Pastor Ted Stahl

Hurting People

by Ted Stahl

There are hurting people in the pew.

Exactly now, what will you do?

Shake a hand and talk a few?

Simply start: “How do you do?”

There are hurting people in the pew.

Exactly now, what will you do?

Turn the blind eye? Never wave goodbye?

Still hurting, they leave, and you just sigh.

There are hurting people in the pew.

Exactly now, what will you do?

What would Jesus say when He sees?

You didn’t do it to them, you didn’t do it to Me.

There are hurting people in the pew.

Exactly now, what will you do?

Pray that you are not like these?

Or pray for mercy and shed some tears?

There are hurting people in the pew.

Now you know. What will you do?

In Acts chapter 15, Elymas the sorcerer was blinded for only a season for perverting the right ways of the Lord. It’s a new season. It’s time we opened our eyes and see… There are hurting people in the pew. Now you know. What will you do?

Peace. (John 3:16)
