I ain't even gonna call this heresy. I'm gonna go ahead and attach the label "BLASPHEMY" to this (via A Little Leaven):
"Jesus is Wealth." Well, how quaint. I wonder how they came up with that slogan. Did the get Kenny Benny and $$Creflo$$, Je$$eD, The Crouche$, "Bi$hop" Week$, and "profite$$" Buyin-em in a room and have them discuss what Jesus means to them? Because from everything I've heard these people "preach", that sounds about like it. Or, as Ray Stevens once said,
Woke up this mornin' turned on my TV set
There in livin' color was somethin' I can't forget
This man was preachin' at me.. yeah.. layin' on the charm
Asking me for 20 with 10,000 on his arm
He wore designer clothing and a big smile on his face
Selling me salvation while they sang Amazing Grace
Asking me for money when he had all the signs of weath
Almost wrote a check out.. yeah.. but then I asked myself…
Would He wear a pinky ring, would He drive a fancy car
Would His wife wear furs and diamonds, would His dressing room have a star
If he came back tomorrow there's something I'd like to know
Would Jesus wear a rolex on His television show
Would Jesus be political if he came back to earth
Have his second home in Palm Springs.. yeah.. but try to hide his worth
Take money from those poor folks when He comes back again
And admit He's talked to all those preachers who said they'd been-a talking to Him
Would He wear a pinky ring, would He drive a fancy car
Would His wife wear furs and diamonds, would His dressing room have a star
If he came back tomorrow there's something I'd like to know
Could ya tell me - Would Jesus wear a rolex
Would Jesus wear a rolex
Would Jesus wear a rolex on His television show
Would Jesus wear a rolex on His television show
