CREATIVE COMPETITION

 

GULP shot to the top of the charts like a Space X rocket. GREED, Unsuppressed LUST, and PRIDE. 

GULP.

The rock trio took Idol with a Golden Buzzer. Their fame swept through Hollywood like a Florida hurricane. An initial album went platinum. Offers poured in for late-night talk shows and the next Super Bowl half-time. The trio had it all: Instant riches, Fanatic followers, Notoriety. Raunchy lyrics—repeated endlessly through teeny-bopper earbuds—lauded the value of uncontrolled Greed, the freedom of unsuppressed Lust, and the self-esteem of unconquerable Pride. The world loved them.

MUCH received little public acclaim. MORALITY, Unceasing CONTENTMENT, and HUMILITY.

MUCH.

In spite of outstanding performances, MUCH did not become popular. Mockery on SNL seemed to be the
apex of their notoriety. Lyrics were easy to understand, but almost universally scorned by the media. Few saw any value in uncompromising MORALTY, Undying CONTENTMENT, and unselfish HUMILITY.

Finally, the GREAT CONTEST arrived. Competition for the ultimate prize. Universal acclaim. A contract with the greatest Producer of all time. Eternal rewards.

Everyone knew who would win. But everyone was wrong. This was not a popularity contest. This was an impartial decision by a Just Judge.

MUCH always wins when God makes the final decision.
