Preacher
Our dear preacher would not practice what he preaches
He tells us what the Bible says and does a different thing from what it teaches
He says we should give, as God loves a cheerful giver
and give to the needy he would never
He dwells in opulence and has lots of hangers
We dwell in poverty and are ravaged by hunger
He says we desist from immorality as adultery and fornication is not right
he divorced his wife and has someone to warm his bed at night
He says we be humble but won't shake my hand cos I'm below
and would only shake hands with the wealthy even when they bellow
unbeknown to him, we are not really interested in what he preaches
so much for what the Bible teaches
He is to us the Bible we read
And the Bible just to lead
I wonder if he has a different Bible from ours
Please preacher, practice what you preach

Hello Rose...
I wonder what would happen if preachers saw themselves through the eyes of the congregation...
Like a congregation...
Show face at church...
Are they the same everyday?
Maybe, we see them as a person who needs to be perfect?
Preachers are people too...
Many people are probably reminded to practice what you preach...
Preachers or not...
Great message...
Great write!
Hugs...

Hi Sparrowsong, yeah we mostly forget that they are human and can never be perfect. While we forget our shortcomings and point fingers at others. We go to church over and over but remain the same.
Wonder what would happen if people around us would copy us.
Great words Sparrowsong.
Thanks for reading through.
Lots of love
WOW!! ~ ROSE!!.... so glad I caught this one.......I am a VERY spiritual man..... but I do not subscribe to religion in general.... there are those who DO practice what they preach...... but to me "The Church" is inside of you & not in the buildings of wood and stone.....I was raised Catholic and was an altar boy...... and saw behind the scenes what goes on in some churches......NEVER went back to church again.... but I HAVE been searching the globe for GOD ever since...... and I have become a HUGE proponent for GOD because of many metaphysical type experiences.....I write a blog on Metaphysics now and speak VERY often of the proof that GOD exists........thanx so much for sharing this....... well conceived & powerfully delivered.......ALL STARS.......T xo
Hi Rose I too missed this write and i am of the same ilk as Tony
i don`t go to church but i believe and pray.This preacher in your poem
really does need to practice what he preaches
Great write Rose glad i caught it
love n hugs Debs
Hi Debs, I'm gald you enjoyed it. God doesn't dwell in the Church building but in our hearts. The church has failed a lot of people. Thank God you believe and pray. I pray you'd continue to experience the greatness of God in your life.
Thanks a million.
Lots of love
Hi Larry, Over time I've met several people who have stopped going to Church because of what they've seen happening in the Church. Mostly from the preachers and congregation. Some have even became atheist and agnostic for the same reason. Thank God for you, leaving the Church hasn't waned your believe in God. God really exist but not inside the churchbut rather inside our hearts.
Thanks a million for your wonderful comment. I'm inspired.
Lots of love......Rose
Awww!!!.....my error *some have even become* Just noticed that. Sorry about it.
