Subject: IS there any answers out there? |
Bible Note: Radioman - During my forty years in the insurance industry, I always marveled at the sheer numbers of books, tapes, and conferences designed to show the young insurance salesman how to strike it rich quick in the insurance business. If there was so much gold to be mined from the sale of insurance, as they claimed, then why were these writers and lecturers wasting their valuable time telling others how to do it instead of being out there in the gold mine with their picks digging with all their might for the gold themselves? I always taught my agents to put down their get-rich-quick books and go out and see the people. I told them no one ever learned to ride a bicycle by reading about it. ..... Same goes for the religious self-help genre of books and TV circuses. Why aren't the teachers of the gospel of prosperity coughing up their own seed-faith dollars instead of begging their poor disciples to send dollars to them? If they can guarantee a hundred-fold return on their disciples' seed-faith dollars, why then can't they cast their own bread upon the waters with equally astonishing returns? The prayer of Jabez produces abundant wealth to be sure, provided, that is, that you write a crummy little book about it and are lucky enough to see it become a phenomenal best-seller. --Hank |
