Pastors love your money more than your soul

I was walking down Session Road,Baguio City one afternoon when I happen to pass by a Caucasian holding a big cardboard. Written in its surface are the following words,"Your pastor loves your money more than your soul." I asked this person,Jonathan Hopper, why he is doing this thing. He said that many pastors are getting the money of poor parishioners for their own purpose (that is, to buy cars and finance ambitious projects) instead of using church money to help the poor,widows, and orphans.

If there is truth in what Hopper was claiming, what then is religion? Another business? Where is salvation? Why is it so illusive?

It would seem that many church leaders are presenting salvation in terms of tithing or giving instead of preparing their members for the unseen; that salvation is pegged on material things, not on faith.

Of Leeches and Mosquitoes

Some work by night
while others by day
still others do both
but one thing in common
both are blood suckers
of leeches and mosquitoes
giving sickness and woes
sucking between the toes
others at the elbows
to whom shall I compare
thy treacheries unfair?
like corrupt leaders
like selfish teachers
like cheating workers
like bribed writers
That hide the keys
to the door of success
which they entered
leaving the rest so battered
