Dear Kaz, I love this work! If I could, I would have Nominated it. From a poor family I came, God in his great compassion and mercy regenerated me by his Holy Spirit, made me a New Creation in Christ.
You are spot on with your writings, it's like they are my own. As my daughter would say; The whole world is going to Hell in a handbag! So many Politicians are corrupt by lust for power and money today, but my biggest grief is "Man's Religion", they fleece the congregation by endless giving projects, using the Prophet Malachi to strike fear, quoting to them; "You have robbed me!" Truth is, this was said to the Jews, not to Christians. Jesus told the religious Jews that they should pay Tithes, they were under the Law of Moses, but, Jesus never paid the Tithe, nor told his Disciples to do so, he however did pay Taxes, to keep the Government running which he established. (Romans 13:1).
Great lines of truth; Many will abuse the words of faith
If they can use it to amass a world of wealth
fake religious figures will take your last cent
and don’t care if you’re sick or suffering from poor health. Keep up your great efforts, you will reap the rewards in his Will in due season.

in Jeremiah 23:14 he wrote
“I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem
horrible things: they commit adultery and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers,
that none of them doth return from his wickedness, they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants therefore as Gomorrah:
