Advertising

Today I was looking over cover letters to some people about advertisement for CR. As I was considering a plan for handing out flyers with CR information, somehow it struck me rather odd. When stores have sales and run ads, people flock to those stores to get the good deals offered. Have you ever been to the sale the day after Thanksgiving or Christmas? All those people lined up out in the cold to get just the right gift!! (I've done it to.) Have you ever stopped to wonder why people don't do that with all the cool stuff churches have to offer? That's what struck me odd. Is it because what we have to offer - the free gift of God's love/salvation - is free? Does that just make it sound too good to be true? Most people believe churches and preachers only want your money. CR isn't about money at all. It's simply about you and God. Living your life to the fullest with all the blessings God has in store for you. The catch? What catch? To live a life where we are nice to one another, helping a person who is in need, and treating others the way we want to be treated? All of these things are simply aspects of living like Christ did. No one expects you to be perfect. We're all sinners. The bible tells us that. If we had to be perfect, I couldn't attend either. Every one of us fall short of the Glory of God, but praise God for His forgiveness.
What is your advertisement? What do others see in you by the way you live?
Praising God for each one of you!
