Can't Y'all See That He's Fake, The Rap Version of TD Jakes

Prophesizing on your CDs and tapes
Won't break you a crumb of the little bit that he makes
And this is with whom you want to place your faith?

I am going to hell for this post. I had one ready to go about the importance of college, based on the Hostess. I’ll summarize it for you-go, send your kids. Now then, let’s talk about the word “faith”.

Sometimes I’ll visit a church (I really do go, I went Sunday) and I find myself questioning what was said. For instance, I am half Episcopalian and half Baptist. (Okay, I am a full Episcopalian, much to my Mom’s chagrin). But I always found myself wondering what the difference was between the two. My uncle switched from Episcopalian to Baptist, so my conversion just kept the Redd quotient pleasing to the Big Guy. And all of that was one long digression, I admit.

So okay, back in my Baptist days, I would visit some different churches. And make no mistake about it, Church is like a Sunday morning club, with calls going out all day the Saturday before –

“Yo whatup, You going to church tomorrow?”
“Nah, I think I’m going to Mt. Olive”
“Word? What time? I wanna go.”

Generally these calls revolved entirely around the fact that a new church meant new women, but that is yet another digression. The point is that I have been in some churches in my day. Well, in my travels, these are the things that I have encountered that I have found questionable, doubtful, dubious, OUTRIGHT MADE UP, and/or a lie. Things like tithing and the rapture. And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. I will omit my reasoning (if you’re curious, just ask-that what comments are for), and invite anyone who has any insight on these areas to let me know.

But my point is one that I am moved to write. Trust no man, but have faith in God. Be discerning when hearing the word, because there are people out here running around seeking to offer spiritual fulfillment , while the whole time lining their pockets. That bothers me, and I am a hustler. I guess I do have morals (and dogma—let’s see how many of you get that reference and its relevance to me?)

So let me ask this question, if a man was anointed by God to bring souls to God—and knowing that God will always provide—then why should that charge upwards of $50,000 before he saves souls in your church or in your city?

Here’s another question, Should I pay a registration fee for salvation?

Last one, would Jesus drive a Bentley? (AND a Benz, Lex, and Range?!?!?)

The Arabs have a saying, “Trust in Allah, but still tie up your camel.” Is your camel tied up?
