Make Me Vomit

Welcome back my friends to the Show that never ends, we are so glad you could attend, come inside, come inside.

Bunnies, Colored Eggs, Promotions, Banners, and Radio Spots. (Make me barf!)

The commercialization of religion makes me vomit. Alot of what preachers are saying sounds like motivational Bull@#!&: like "think outside the box" and "paradigm shift", playing off current TV themes, and wanting to call you DUDE.

Sounds like an over zealous promoter or manager. Some preachers make religion sound like a hipster pop oriented entity with "limited editions" and "get your 'Jesus Rocks' key chains while supplies last."

Salesmanship has become a formulated part of American life, from religion to even our family life. Church has become all about attracting people to check out how cool we are. Lurring them in with Lattes and Donuts. Putting "money givers" in chairs so we can build bigger buildings and justify their existence.

We don't need to sell people on the life changing POWER of Jesus Christ.

Look around. Whose life is changed and whose isn't? Who is walking in the freedom Christ can only provide? Powerful marketing skills doesn't change lives.

Peace, Love, Forgiveness, and Mercy and TRUTH are the only life changers. Stop the sales job. Try preaching the TRUTH! The Truth that divided and yet conquered. Jesus Christ came to set us free. He had no slick marketing campaign. He loved people into the kingdom.
