Fallen Churches, Fallen Men

I fear most Church steeples are drowning in sin And like Country Clubs, cater to folks acting part, Way too holy for sinner, too blessed to be sick, Always blaming the victim, God’s grace a lost art. The rich are the only ones sure of God’s love! Though it's faux pas, reflection might still do them good. In the poorest of sinners who wishes you well, God embraces true saint for he's done all he could! The rich overconfident, poor in the dumps, God gets lost in the shuffle of privilege and blame But the judgment of others is sin for us all, Being rich can’t buy Halo, the poor own no shame. If I attend church then because it is grand Tell me how do I know I’m not worshiping wealth? God's Word taught to grow riches or enrich the heart? Does disciple need palace's comforts for health? Collecting vast wealth just to hoard is a sin! How’d you come by your talents, if not gift from God? Do you find the best way or trust God for a plan? Those who wait on the Lord feel OK being odd! To find the right church though is simple in fact - Humble is the right track, “Son of God” the right train! You were loved long before His creation began, Only sick people welcome, "God’s Grace" Church refrain. Long Tooth May 13, 2017
