The Church Struggles
The Church struggles with bills
eighty percent of every dollar
is spent on administration
the cost of building maintenance
The cost of food and housing
for its minister's, cardinals and priests
riddled with greed some members live
In the lap of luxury
Well the Pope rakes his brains
to figure out how to make more money
money to pay the bills
The church has become
an international company
teaching people to pay the tithe
turning the power of the bible
into a money-making machine
Yet if they follow the bible completely
they would make more money
The parable of the talents
invest Gods money
To make five times more
creating extra streams of income
Minister's priests and cardinals
are people they could all learn other jobs
a man could work as a cleaner
during the week and still, preach
to a congregation during the weekend
A person can be more than one thing
We can all earn a wage during the week
that allows us to feed ourselves
reducing the cost of administration
creating wealth for the church
Reducing problems of administration costs
people can learn to be doctors, lawyer's, nurses
people can learn to depend on themselves
Reducing problems for the Pope
People can be fishers of men
one of the worlds greatest missionaries
sent her money home and lived like the natives
reducing life's costs, remember Mary Slessor
A woman that changed the heart of Africa
The parable of the talents tells you
to invest God money
to make five times more
The only way to make five times more
is to invest in companies creating jobs
Creating jobs helps overcome poverty
money is not a God but it could be a tool
Used to help overcome world problems
creating jobs allows people to feed their babies
creating wealth allows the church
to lead people to build careers
build independence,build better live's
creating wealth and building Gods Kingdom
Using the tithe to overcome
the problems of to poor
Granted people can become greedy
people can put money above God
people can not, have two masters
money should not be your God
People can make money
more important than people
abusing people to make a profit
yet the parable of the good Samaritan
Teach's us to care about the people in need
creating jobs for people in poverty
allows them to earn a wage
money to feed their family
Money should be no more than a tool
used to create a better world
a tool used to create hospitals
jobs and schools
