Modern Day American Church
by makayla-shea
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
