Has Jesus been lost in your TULIP,
As you argue with others, day and night?
Do you think you're the one who's right,
As you defend your doctrine with all your might?
You cling to your beliefs with pride,
As you fight for your theology's fame.
But the love of Christ has been pushed aside,
As you focus on winning your holy game.
You think you're the one who knows best,
With your understanding of TULIP so clear.
But you've forgotten the One who gives rest,
As you let your pride take over, my dear.
Remember, dear friend, that TULIP ends in Christ alone,
It's not about us and our knowledge and might.
It's about Him and His love that's shown,
In all that we do, day and night.
So let go of your pride and your need to be right,
And focus on loving Christ with all your heart.
Then you'll see that TULIP shines bright,
As you follow Him, and never depart.
About Brandan Kraft
Brandan Kraft is a computer programmer from the Missouri Ozarks who has been writing about the sovereign grace of God since 1997. He started with a website called bornagain.net, built it into PristineGrace.org, and has published over two hundred articles, nearly sixty songs, and a growing catalog of podcasts from his living room in Ashland, Kentucky. All without permission from anyone.
He holds no seminary degree, no denominational endorsement, and no theological credentials. He has been writing software for the same employer since 1998. He thinks in systems and believes that the sharpest doctrine should produce the widest arms.
His systematic theology, A Thought in the Mind of God, derives every position from one sentence and applies it across every domain - from ontology to eschatology, from the nature of the human mind to the nature of heaven and hell. It is available at pristinegrace.org/mind.
Brandan lives in Ashland, Kentucky with his wife Angie and their son Cole. He plays trombone in the Marshall University Tri-State Brass Band and changes a diaper twice a day on a cat named OJ who was once paralyzed and whom nobody else wanted.
