Those days are long past when crosses	A
were the signposts of churches	B
The trend nowadays is for assemblies	C
to bear flashy pictures of pastors in charge	D
often with their wives beside them	E
As the rightful owners of ministries	C
'Pastorpreneurs'	C
are the heads of trustees	C
With family members as co trustees	C
there are no marked differences between	F
assets of churches and those of the pastors	C
	-
The shameful abuse of gospel grace by	G
these men of crafty pretense in religious ropes	C
has brought a stigma of infamy	H
to the venerated image of God's church	I
diminishing its moral voice	C
Driven by putrid stench of materialism	J
they peddle The Holy Word for profit	K
at the expense of worshippers	C
whose genuine concerns	C
they exploit to feather their nests	C
	-
By spiritualising mundane matters	C
they delimit terms of success known to man	L
Unthinkable to question the motives of a true	M
'man of God' these demagogues turn	N
human judgments into divine commands	C
dishing out spiritual orders	C
with more focus on the collections	C
The out of context tithing doctrines	C
the stage managed testimonies	C
and the miracle faking sprees	C
are the lifelines of their dubious enterprises	C
	-
With sensibilities of congregants erased by	G
the sugar frivolities of these charlatans	C
who promise quick and easy solutions	C
to existential challenges they are lured	O
to donate handsomely till it hurts	C
Many forgo basic necessities	C
default on credit instalments	C
and some even go borrowing	P
to meet the demands of worldly churches	C
As anticipated miracles become gaudy illusions	C
those blacklisted helplessly watch	Q
as their properties furniture cars houses	C
are repossessed or auctioned	R
	-
The mere mention of certain televangelists	C
brings to mind scandals	C
that have caused ripples of oddities	C
With vast business interests funded	S
from donations by followers	C
the celebrity pastors are having fun	T
Their ungodly opulence a testament	U
to the lucrative nature of	V
translating The Holy Word	W
In an era of material excesses	C
'Pastorpreneurs'	C
are the raiders of the Lord's Vineyard	W
