Have you ever seen the commercials for this product? If you have then you know the salesman pictured.Ive been thinking about this for a while now, do you suppose that this guy actually uses a sham-wow? With so much enthusiasm in his pitch for the product he must have a house filled with the stuff! What about George Foreman? Does he actually cook everything with his grill? I mean his name is on the cooker, for cryin' out loud!
If you found out that neither one of these guys, or the countless other celebrity endorsed products in the world were actually used by them, would you still believe in the product or even purchase it?
This has to be the most pressing issue for anyone who speaks the name of Christ today.
If 94% of americans believe in God, 74% claim a commitment to Christ and 34% confess a "new birth" experience, yet we see widespread massive moral failures in every social arena, are WE actually eating what we sell?
Or, is what we are "selling" irrelevant to our real existence and without any real power over our daily lives?
Wow i really like this post Ronny. It is absolutely ridiculous how nonchalant we are about actually DOING what we know we should. Its like we assume that just because our KING, our FRIEND, our REDEEMER died on a cross, it makes it ok to just tell people we believe in the bible and what it says but we dont actually have to DO it because Hey that guy died to make it ok to break the rules. Well he wasn't just "A guy" and he didn't just "die to make it ok" He died because you have no shot in heaven, hell, earth, or other to recieve anything but eternal torture WITHOUT HIM. Sorry, i kinda went off there... I just have an incredible passion for this, no matter how unworthy i am for being in the same boat sometimes. Let realize that "that guy" didn't have to do it, but he did it so that we could spend eternity with him instead of with a roaring lion that seeks to devour, mutilate, and torture us.
