Jesus without the marketing
Lately I've been feeling a bit of regret as I see churches with huge budgets, gigantic facilities, amazing radio programs... In other words the works. Would Jesus have ever considered using a marketing strategy to reach new Christians? Eternal life is not something that works well with worldly schemes and mechanisms and I feel remorse over being a part of a religious life that thinks this works. I am not trying to say I have some great insight into what is authentic and what isn't, but, the idea of Jesus using the "strategies" Christians focus on today just makes my stomach turn. I guess I want people to stop spending time trying to figure out how to be the most effective Christian with their resources and just love the world back to life. Who cares if it's pretty or not.
