Religion

I thought Sunday was supposed

to be a day for family

but when I get to church the pastor

act like he don't want to leave

I wake up and go from about 9 to 3

& every 1/2 hour I have to empty

my pocket for another offering

I understand you are supposed

to give a tithe unto God

but they act like a brotha got a

high paying job

when the church has business meetings

to show how the money is being kept

all I find out is the church is deeper

in debt

the older I get the more it makes sense

that the church is nothing more than

a business



Why doesn't the preacher ever say anything

happy or uplifting?

The only was the congregation is moved is

when he is talking 'bout hell or shouting

Why is everyone so concerned with what I wear?

I'm pretty sure the Lawd don't care

we need to get back to that religion in the sky

so the pastor ain't the only one gett'n a

piece of the pie

Hopefully you have found a church focusing on providing the forgiveness of sins, rightly dividing Law and Gospel. That is what church is for.

This is a quote "You see now only in part that the things before you, houses, churches, etc., are the outcome of man's limited thought. He has been dimly working out a spiritual idea. The spiritual idea is the only fact, and not the bricks and mortar. There is really only the spiritual conception of a home, a church, a road, and with the eye of faith you could see the real only, for I assure you again that the spiritual is the only real." "You are like children with your walls and partitions, your churches and chapels."

This is a very true poem, most of us don't know but church has become a business, your lucky to find a good church and pastor nowadays. Nice work.
