If Have Cable Or Satellite Tv, You Likely Have ...
Contributed by Nathan Ingram on Nov 30, 2009 (message contributor)
If have cable or satellite TV, you likely have hundreds of channels. Anything you can imagine at any hour of the day. But no matter where you are in the country, no matter what time of day you turn on the tv you’ll always find 3 things on…
A reality TV show… Somebody selling gaudy jewelry, and somebody preaching. And the people watching these three kinds of shows are all asking themselves the same question… IS IT REAL OR IS IT FAKE?
People are tuned into our lives as well. Friends, neighbors, co-workers, children… And as they watch us they’re asking the same question too… IS IT REAL OR IS IT FAKE?
Never make the mistake of trading surface appearances for spiritual reality.
