I am amazed
that so quickly
you turn away from
the one who called you
by the grace of Christ
to an alternative gospel.
Not that there is another,
– except there are some people who trouble you,
and wish to pervert the gospel of Christ.
But even if we
or an angel from heaven
preach
against what we announced to you,
let them be cursed.
As we said before
and I say again now
if anyone preaches to you against what you received
let them be cursed.
For am I now seeking to win over people or God?
Or am I seeking to please people?
if I was still people pleasing, I would not be Christ’s slave.
Lord, you have given me so much,
I ask for one more thing –
a grateful heart.
George Herbert
