The sonnet, titled “When Lips Profess Christ’s Name, Yet Cruel Hearts with Scorn and Spite Assail the Meek,” critiques “mean girl Christians” who profess faith but act with cruelty, judgment, and hypocrisy. It describes their harsh words, prideful cliques, and indifference to their own sins while condemning others, contrasting this with the love, humility, and sensitivity to sin that should mark those who truly love God with heart, soul, and mind. The poem highlights God’s transformative grace, which can soften such hearts, and urges readers to embrace genuine devotion over malicious behavior, seeking humility and mercy instead of scorn.

Some claim Christ’s name, yet wield a crueler art,
Their words, like daggers, pierce with scornful glee,
No love of God inflames their hardened heart,
Nor softens spite in Christian charity.
They judge, they shun, with haughty, glittering eyes,
Their sins unseen, though others’ faults they flay,
In cliques they thrive, where whispered venom lies,
And turn from grace to strut a meaner way.
Yet God, who bids us love with soul and mind,
Would melt such ice with His redeeming flame,
For true devotion leaves no wrath behind,
But cloaks the soul in mercy’s gentle name.
O shun the path where cruel tongues abide,
And seek His love, where humble hearts reside.
