Friday
Churches, Christians & Other Hang-ups
With today's technology, we can tape a TV program and
fast-forward past the commercials to get to the program.
With the sorry state of a lot of shows today, it might be
smarter to fast forward past the program and just watch
the commercials. A lot of them are more entertaining than
the show they're part of! There's one I've seen recently
that's a little strange, but I sure do remember it. It's
advertising a particular pain reliever. They start their
fairly annoying advertisement for the product and then
suddenly interrupt it for this one aggravated person looking
at the camera. They've got this great line, addressed to
the company whose product is being advertised: "I hate
your commercials - but I love your product!"
I have to be brutally honest with you about this Christian
thing. A lot of people really don't like our commercials. The
advertisements for Jesus are the people who claim to follow
Him - like me; the churches and organizations that claim to
operate in His name. And it may be that your experiences
with Christians and Christianity have caused you to say,
"I hate your commercials." There are many bright and
attractive representatives of Jesus, but there are also a
lot who don't represent Him very well.
