The church today

according to themselves

Are the Hands and the Feet of Jesus

those hands are torn and broken

The church today is meant to help those in need

as long as they sit and listen to us reprimand them

They reach out with loving kindness

as long as you have stopped taking drugs and drinking

And give prepared meals and a warm place to sleep

as long as the government keeps giving them tax cuts

They see the need and they strive to fill it as Jesus would

as long as they keep showing up on Sunday and giving tithe

When others fall away from Jesus, the church is still standing, worshipping God

as the children in the streets go hungry

The church takes a stand against sin, against abortion

and the children who’s parents get taken from this world are sent to foster care, they are the governments problem, not the churches

The church today takes a stand against homosexuality, keeping it out of children’s books and schools and tv shows

and the loving parents are kept from adopting, kept from helping those parentless children the church said weren’t their problem

The church in America today cares more about the money they have then what Jesus said

the church today is a capitalist tool for corruption

If pastors would stop taking a salary and get real jobs

what kind of difference would that make

If pastors would stop taking a salary and give that money away

what kind of change could we see today?

Could we build houses for the homeless?

could we help families eager to adopt, but unable to gather the funds?

Could we be there during natural disasters to help lend a hand?

Think of the change just a few pastors salary could make in the day to day lives

but I bet you won’t see any pastors who would do that

That is the church today
