I want fans not friends

 I’m ashamed to admit the statement is true

Can’t  I just trust Your plan

I should be teaching, not overreaching 

Proclaiming & healing man

Interesting spirit makes me want fans 

Same spirit  dogged others in past 

Earth is enticed, I follow Christ

One who’s both first and last 

Spirit is strong for followers and fans

Friends too, as long as arms-length 

Folks make a mess, still I say yes 

I can befriend through His strength

Christ could’ve had fans, He could’ve called down 

Legions to protect and adore Him

He chose to die, stay up there and die 

True friend to those who are for Him.

1 Corinthians 1:11-12

My brothers and sisters, some from Chloe’s household have informed me that there are quarrels among you. What I mean is this: One of you says, “I follow Paul”; another, “I follow Apollos”; another, “I follow Cephas”; still another, “I follow Christ.”

Matthew 4:10-11

Jesus said to him, “Away from me, Satan! For it is written: ‘Worship the Lord your God, and serve him only.’”

Then the devil left him, and angels came and attended him.

Philippians 4:13

I can do all this through him who gives me strength.
