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
