[hometext] => What is church really about these days?
[bodytext] => Dear father forgive me for the things I’m about to say But it’s just how feel today What is a Christian do we really know? It’s got to be more than going to a church show Where everyone comes to show off their new clothes And where others turn up their nose Acting like they are so much better than me Help me understand lord open my mind’s eye so i can see And my ears so i can hear and learn how my soul can be free cos i have been to church and couldn’t hear what the preacher was saying So i just come to you in my home, that’s where i do my praying I don’t want to go somewhere and be judged, being stared at cos I’m new I just want to soak of the word and get closer to you But church these days Is so much more than about praise It’s just a fashion show and about who is putting the most money in the purse Cos most days the preaches pay themselves first Driving fancy cars and wearing Taylor made suits, church paying his rent Like he heaven sent Twisting your words to soot his own self absorb needs Then tell his flock it’s your word he heeds How can that be when he is using your house of worship to gain fame? And then when it falls apart the devil gets the blame And though that is very well true The devil gave him a hand that he consciously walked right into Knowing full well that it was wrong cos he found it easier and more pleasurable to be weak and not strong I’m disgusted at the grandness of all this Preachers comparing church sizes to see which will stand the tallest The bible says come as you are, and when i go that’s what i do Cos i know that i don’t have to have on new clothes to love and follow you So my prayer is for those preaches who use your words to feel some type of power That they realize that all they are doing now will be remembered in the judgment our And there is no hiding and no lying their way out of the wrong they have done Because in the end Satan can save absolutely no one We were born in to a sinful imperfect world and most of us know That love and not money is the way to go Money is to help us sustain our basic needs And anything more grander is simply greed I pray for the children and the ones who are truly lost in some way and don’t know That this world is nothing but Satan’s reality show For those who are standing in line waiting to get on that false money train Father let them know there is nothing to gain Everything with Satan is lies and illusion Nothing but chaos and confusion My prayer is that they open their eyes and ears and change their way And i pray it’s before judgment day Written by Shirley record Date: 11/14/11 I was just thinking of all the chaos in the churches today, the deception and lies My prayer is that people get back to teaching the word, and spreading your Love and message.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
