Popular Churches And Popular Pastors Poem by Qiniso Mogale

Popular churches and their popular pastors
The members of these churches are devotees of fashion
They array themselves with fashionable attires
These churches join hands with the ungodly
in parties of pleasure, in dancing and festivities
Popular churches are sadly degenerate
These churches have turned their backs on God
God has in turn withdrawn Himself from them.

Popular churches retain forms of religion
But the spirit of vital godliness is lacking
The mystery of iniquity described by Apostle Paul is indeed already at work
Popular churches have lowered the exalted standard of the Christian faith to gain converts
Popular churches have departed from the Bible standard of humility, self denial, simplicity and godliness.

Popular churches have popular pastors
These pastors entertain and attract people
Their sermons must be pleasing to fashionable ears
The sermons must not touch popular sins
Fashionable sins are concealed under the pretense of godliness.

Popular churches have adopted it's forms of worship to modern wants
The spirit of worldly conformity has invaded popular churches
It is True that; 'the sin of the world's impenitence lies at the door of the church. '
