Preach WITH the Preachers

There seems to be many today who condemn all clergy because of the sins of a few well known pastors who seem to be in ministry for power and wealth. It hurts me so much to see this. After reading a poem title "Preach to the Preachers" I felt the need to pen the following words.


Preach WITH the Preachers
By Larry Linville

There’s a profession of which I’m a part,
where good men and women serve from the heart.
They look after churches both large and small
caring of the people because of God’s call.
They are never done helping God’s creatures.
You are needed to preach WITH the preachers.

Some accuse them of the sins of a few.
All are belittled before they get through.
They talk of a few with lives full of greed,
but not of the ones who serve folks in need
as they cheer and inspire from God’s great bleachers.
But they need you to preach WITH the preachers.

Sixty or eighty or more hours they work.
Some do two jobs while their families they shirk.
They visit the sick and pray with depressed
and are there when someone needs to be blessed.
They take the time to be Bible teachers.
Please would you join to preach WITH the preachers?

Please don’t send the who group to hell
because of the few with something to sell.
Get involved in a church that’s near to you
and ask the pastor for a task you can do.
Join hands together and be people reachers.
Go into the world and preach WITH the preacher.
