With the latest health food crazes, you've seen the labels... "all natural", "low fat", "no carbs", "low sugar", or maybe "no trans fat". What does that mean. I used to trust these labels, assuming that there was no way that the food industry could get away with calling something healthy if it wasn't at all... boy was I wrong. When you actually flip it over and look at the list of ingredient after ingredient of unknown fake products, you will realize that what is being advertised as healthy is actually jam packed with chemicals, additives, preservatives and sugars.
We as Chrstians do the same thing... we slap a label on ourselves so that we look good in the eyes of others... "reads her Bible", "helps others", "doesn't curse or swear", "goes to church"... but what is really inside? Is it real? or fake? Why are we so afraid to let others see our weakness, to see what the Lord is really doing in our hearts... to see when we fall. Are we afraid of being judged? Afraid that we aren't good enough? Afraid to fall? Afraid if we do that that we might need the help of another to get back up?
What do you advertise?
