Christian Commercials

As with the Christian religion, the worst advertisement for socialism is its adherents.
George Orwell (1903-1950, British author, "Animal Farm")

Isa 52:10-11
The LORD has bared His holy arm in the sight of all the nations, that all the ends of the earth may see the salvation of our God. Depart, depart, go out from there, Touch nothing unclean; Go out of the midst of her, purify yourselves, you who carry the vessels of the LORD.
NASU

Over 350,000 persons were interviewed in a Gallop poll, and asked this question: "Is religion an important part of your daily life?" The data reveal a wide disparity among the states. In Mississippi, 85% answered "yes," while in Vermont, only 42% did so. It seems the further north you go, the less spiritual you grow. In fact, only about half as many people answered yes in Vermont.

To be a Christian means coming from Christ. Just as a Californian comes from California and a Bostonian is someone who comes from Boston, a Christian is one who comes from Christ. I’m afraid though that we have not proclaimed loudly enough our heritage, for there are traits that Christians have, as much as there are traits of the Bostonian.

As Christians we are vessels who carry within us the Holiness of Christ. We are to keep it clean and holy and to give it preference in our lives, so that it may witness to the strength and power of our God. To say you believe it, and to live it, can be two different things. Are we good billboards for our God? Does our life draw others to Christ, or push them away? An important, daily question for us all…God Bless.
