So many of today's churches, pastors, members have forgotten the people. They are too busy worried about offending
someone, numbers, money, building gyms, biggest church building, etc... that they forget what is really important
to God! Christian Singer Don Francisco puts this in an excellent song:
THE STEEPLE SONG
by Don Francisco
I don't care how many buses you own,
or the size of your sanctuary.
It doesn't matter how steep your steeple is,
if it's sittin' on a cemetery.
I don't care if you pave your parking lot,
or put pads upon your pews.
What good is picture perfect stage,
if you're missin' all the cues?
I don't care if your pastor's super-powered,
and your program's always new.
What you need is love and truth,
and men are going to come to you.
It doesn't matter that you now the Bible,
if it's all just in your head.
The thing I need to ask you is,
Have you done the things I said?
Do you love your wife?
for her and your children.
Are you layin' down your life?
what about the others?
Are you livin' as a servant too,
your sisters and your brothers?
Do you make the poor man beg you for a bone?
Do the widow and the orphan cry alone?
I don't care if you pray for miracles,
I don't care if you speak in tongues,
I don't care if you said you love Me,
in every song you've sung.
It doesn't matter that your sacrifice of praise,
its loud enough to raise the dead.
The thing I need to ask you is,
Have you done the things I said?
Lord, when were You a prisoner,
that we did not come to You?
When was it that we saw You sick,
that we didn't follow through?
Every time you turned your head,
and pretended not to see?
When you did it not to the least of these,
You did it not to Me?
Do you love your wife?
with all you've got inside you?
Are you layin' down your life?
What about the others?
Are you living as a servant?
to your sisters and your brothers?
Do you make the poor man beg you for a bone?
Do the sick know you care?
Do the widow and the orphan cry alone?
Do you say: Oh Lord or Oh me ?
