I would be remiss in not providing an example of getting it right, as written by the 20th-century British minister Frederick William Pitt, and recently beautifully voiced by Rachel Wilhelm and Phil Keaggy:

The maker of the universe as man for man was made a curse
The claims of laws which He had made unto the uttermost He paid
His holy fingers made the bough which grew the thorns that crowned His brow
The nails that pierced His hands were mined in secret places He designed
He made the forests whence there sprung the tree on which His body hung
He died upon a cross of wood, yet made the hill on which it stood
The sky that darkened o’er His head by Him above the earth was spread
The sun that hid from Him its face by His decree was poised in space
The spear which spilled His precious blood was tempered in the fires of God
The grave in which His form was laid was hewn in rock His hands had made
The throne on which He now appears was His from everlasting years
But a new glory crowns His brow and every knee to Him shall bow //

There are few things more abhorrent than attempting to weaponize Christianity, or should I say, trying to use Christianity as a weapon against others. //

The true believer says “Christ is King” not as an assault against others but as an admittance of personal failure. The valid believer names Jesus as their Lord and not only their Savior. Accepting Christ’s Lordship is acknowledging the utter need for that Lordship. Even as He welcomes us into the fellowship bought at the ultimate price, we must bow before Him and follow His command to serve others, not exalt ourselves. There is no pride in being part of the Lion of Judah’s pride.
