Today I read three chapters of Proverbs and one of Romans, and became overwhelmed the theme of taming one's tongue in order to be wise, avoid foolishness, and to be kind. As a result, I thought I wouldn't blog about that (too much to reference and say) and instead look for a video, and of the first videos Youtube recommended to me was ... a man telling his secret about how he went from being broke to buying a Lamborghini.
I would love a nice car as much as the next guy, and I do fantasize about owning a very, very nice car. However, I could never, ever own something that was so expensive that it's price far exceeded its logical value. Still, I am not pointing a finger at this person in any way.
Instead, let's just consider the fact that, for some reason, someone is promoting a video where their great claim is "you, too, could own a six-figure sports car!"
What if Christians actually cared enough about the world to promote a video that proclaimed "you, too, could be eternally, blissfully, immeasurably happy!"
Seriously, isn't the good news more important than a car? Isn't it more valuable than a sporty status symbol? Isn't it more eternal than steel and rubber and glass?
We need to figure out what to do about this.
