Saves

Save your work
With the tap on an icon.
Save the date
For lots of wedding fun.
Save at the grocer's
By using a coupon.
Save at the bank
For cash to depend on.
 
As it comes to your soul
Has it been saved?
Born Again Christians
See your road being paved.
 
It is fine to rejoice
In this joyful craze.
But in all The Good News
Nowhere is the phrase "Jesus saves!"
 
You are not to be shelved
As a collectible item.
You are not to be held
For display like a gem.
You are not to sit secured
In a vault-like mausoleum.
You are not plastic-wrapped
For history's museums.
 
Your flaws are your power
To respond to God's gifts.
You're to serve and be useful
Practicing your beliefs.
Be a witness to glories
Spreading joy where you tread.
Not being "saved" -
Be useful instead!
 
James 2:24
