Are Churches Putting Profits Before People?

Hold up, choir sisters and brothers! Gospel singer Nelson Misikhu, better known as The Boy, is throwing some serious shade at churches, and it's got everyone buzzing. The accusation? Churches are prioritizing business ventures over helping their communities, especially in times of crisis.

Misikhu points a finger at the recent floods in Kenya. When families were desperately clinging to rooftops, where were the churches with aid and support? Instead, according to him, they were busy with internal squabbles and building fancy edifices. Ouch! That hits hard. But is there truth to this gospel singer's critique?

Look around. How many churches in your neighborhood actively reach out to struggling families? Do they host food drives or organize volunteer efforts? Misikhu argues that these houses of worship should be putting people first, not profit. "We should invest in people, not edifices," he says. Powerful words that make you think twice about where your tithes are truly going.

But Misikhu doesn't stop there. He feels the disconnect goes even deeper. Gospel artists, the very voices that fill churches with praise, are often expected to perform for free. "Gospel artists shouldn't have to suffer," he declares. Shouldn't churches, flush with offerings, be compensating these talented individuals who uplift their congregations? It's a fair point. Can we truly preach compassion while artists who spread the word struggle financially?

Misikhu's comments are sparking a firestorm of debate. Are churches straying from their core mission? Is there a growing commercialization of faith? 

 These are uncomfortable questions, but ones that need to be addressed.

Perhaps it's time for houses of worship to take a good, hard look in the mirror and ask themselves: Are they reflecting the true meaning of charity and love?
