"Faith is a gift which I have but / One wonders still no matter what"


Poem Artwork

Questions in a Quiet Voice

Standard answers and sophistry
That certain sense of certainty
Prevent me from the ministry
Faith is a gift which I have but
One wonders still no matter what

The freedom of thought to cherish
Intellectual honesty
Albeit at the cost of all
My heritage this heresy
Keeps me from serving a parish

I live by faith and rise or fall
I have to do it honestly
To serve the God who gives me choice
Some questions in a quiet voice
And these nine books of poetry

+Steven Curtis Lance

I am not into sophistry either, but I am aware that it reigns surpreme in most religious texts. Still . . . That is why it is called faith.

Well expressed opinion and philosphy on your faith and the faith you have in your life and world. It's good to be back and reading you again old friend.

Very moving and eloquent penning, Steven. I especially appreciate the last stanza. ~~Nordette

Faith in the Most High is the foundation that will see us through all the storms. The edifice we inhabit, built on the foundation, is an amalgam of everything we are and wonder.

The Sophists were a little too spacy for my taste Steven, as was reflected in how Socrates and Plato responded to their sometimes foolish clever talk.

I think its one of the reasons that scripture states that "without the faith of a child" no one will see the Kingdom of God.

Great write!
Keep doing so!

Telepathy Will Change Your Life by D.E.Z. Butler

A way to use your mind for silent communication. Speaking about the methods in the book I have used since a young age. 21st Century learning. I also have a GoFundMe page to ask for funds so I can research with other people and add their experiences
