Insert faith

Inspiration comes at the strangest times.  My daughter had a piano recital yesterday.  Two students played a duet version of Climb Every Mountain from The Sound of Music.  Everyone knows the climactic line "Till you find your dream."  Unfortunately, dream rhymes with esteem which led me to think of self-esteem.

I had just listened John MacArthur's sermon on the true knowledge of God and how God is distorted by the purveyors of the health/wealth "gospel".  I had to concentrate on listening to the rest of the duet rather than making up lyrics in my head.  I did come home and write this little ode of advice from one prosperity preacher to another to the tune Climb Every Mountain.

To be successful

Follow this theme

Pander their desires

Feed their self esteem

Minimize doctrine

Don't talk of sin

Water down the gospel

That draws people in

The truth in the Word

They do not need to know

Just keep tickling their ears

And your book sales will grow!

God is the heav'nly

Vending machine

Just insert your faith and

He'll give you your dreams!
