This idea has been completely stolen from Jonathan Reed who is someone from Atlanta and won second place in an AARP contest called "u@50". His original is going the rounds of the internet and can be seen in various places. I've completely plagiarised it for Sunday. I was put onto it by a member of the congregation. Here's a version that may fit with Sunday.
The idea is to read it all the way through and then read it line by line from the bottom up.
Is this what we believe?
God has given everything for the sake of the world
Is a lie
And ‘only those who are rich will be saved’
God is not on the side of those who want to change the world
I would be lying to you if I said
The good news will set us free
And light is stronger than darkness and
justice is a better way than fear
I am convinced of this because
selfishness is ingrained in us all
love is a weakness and only the strong will survive and
I cannot bring myself to believe
God’s word is an agent of transformation in the world and
People of faith are people who know the power of change
This is not true for us
This is a secular and hopeless society
Experts will tell us
In the future
Living without believing will be the norm
It is foolish to presume that
These things will change
unless we let faith turn these things around
