A solid man, they call him so,
With bones of anger and pride to show,
More bones than meat he often finds,
And leaves a trail of combative lines.
He spurns the church and shuns the light,
Preferring to sit and type all night,
Posting attacks on all around,
His logic leaps with a hollow sound.
He scorns the Gospel's simple truth,
Insisting on words in his proof,
Belief in Christ, to him, is not enough,
For he demands a precise rebuff.
He sees the saved and lost alone,
And won't accept what's not his own,
His wrath burns hot against all foes,
Leaving a trail of verbal blows.
He glories in his knowledge gained,
But love and joy are things disdained,
He cares not for the fruit of the Spirit,
Only his intellect, to him, is merit.
He's self-important, full of pride,
Attacking all on the other side,
For he who wears his faith on his sleeve,
Is the puffed up man, who doesn't believe.
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.
