Authenticity for Sale!


I know the title is an oxymoron, but it is what we see so much in our world. Politicians each one telling how much more honest they are than the other guy, how much better they will do if elected, how genuine, sincere, authentic they all appear to be. Is it just me or does it seem there is a total lack of connection in people’s lives with what they profess and what they really are?

I came across a short story,

A tiger met a lion as they set beside a pool,
said the tiger to the lion, why are you roaring like a fool?
Oh that's not foolish said the lion, with a twinkle in his eyes
they call me the "King of Beasts" because I advertise!

A rabbit heard them speaking, he ran home like a streak
he thought he would try the lion's plan, but his roar was just a squeak
A fox came to investigate, had his luncheon in the woods.
So my friends when you advertise, be sure you got the goods!

I read an awesome book by Bill Hybels titled "Honest to God" this is my must read for all who would desire a more authentic relationship with their master Jesus Christ.

The church, and Christians have been roaring for years that we have the answer, and we do, yet when people come to visit, or interact with churches and Christians we behave more like the mouse than the lion....

May God make us all in the image of the LION OF THE TRIBE OF JUDAH this week!
