The-olergy—A Rap for the Man
He loves to argue the the-ol-er-gy,
But his praxis doesn’t always match his orther-doxy.
Knows a lot about Creation, though it happened long ago,
Got a timeline of God’s plan for man, I guess it must be so…
He’s studied all the prophets, knows The Book from A to Z,
Taken correspondence courses Johnny Mac to Johnny P.
And he loves to argue the the-ol-er-gy,
But his praxis doesn’t always match his orther-doxy.
He tosses in the Hebrew and the Greek, you see,
Reads another church’s letters from the early A.D.
Talks a lotta ‘bout the Writer like he knows Him so well…
Doesn’t talk about His Son, Who died to love me out of hell.
He loves to argue the the-ol-er-gy,
But his praxis doesn’t always match his orther-doxy.
Sends his dollars off to missionaries far across the sea,
Doesn’t care about the planet or his neighbor down the street.
He knows the poor he’ll always have, he doesn’t know their names.
He sings the songs, he prays the prayers…I think he’s playin’ games.
Ya know ya gotta wonder ‘bout the-ol-er-gy
When the praxis doesn’t seem to match the orther-doxy

and i thought I didn't like rap! I actually read this with a beat box sound in the background. Too true, this is precious!
I heard the beat box, too. And I don't like rap, either...but that's what came out. Gotta listen to your muse!
