Have you always wondered why most gospel artist are not as wealthy as their counterparts the secular artists. why don't the Gospel artist get endorsement deals like them. Well these 12 reasons by James L. Walker Jr. will answer you.
1. They TRUST Jesus & Anyone Who Uses The Name of “Jesus” to Convince Them Not to Read Their Contracts or Hire Good Representation;
2. They PRAY Daily, But Won’t READ Daily;
3. They Sing and Shout Day and Night, But Never Listen Morning or Evening;
4. They Keep Hiring A Choir Member or Deacon From Their Church to “play” Manager;
5. They Like New Shoes More Than New Money;
6. They Overprice Themselves Out of The Market and Don’t Understand the Changes in the Marketplace;
7. They Won’t Read ANY Contracts, Even the Sprint Contract, then Cry “Satan is a Liar”, When The Phone Is Shut Off;
8. They Love a High Profile Nice Big Car, vs. a Nice Low Profile Large Bank Account;
9. They’ll Listen to Their Pastor’s Advice Before They’ll Listen to Their Attorney, Manager or Accountant;
10. They Don’t Realize Jesus Wept Because He Knew A Generation would Sing and Never Get Paid Until They Read Their Contracts Like they Read the Bible and Pray Daily;
11. They Don’t Understand a Point, Publishing or Statutory Rates; and
12. Like All Artists, They Want To Be A “Star” For All The Wrong Reasons! But They Even Wrongly Feel Jesus “Called Them” To Just Sing And Not Worry or Care About Business.
