This world we're in, image is everything... no?

Think:
Go to two different person, ask about coronary heart disease, both give you exact same details and description and treatment information. One dressed like a sanitation expert also know as janitor (lecturer taught me that) and the other has a white coat and tie. Who would you think is more credible?

Image or packaging is the "in" thing now.

Question:
You know playstation 3?

Do you know playstation 3 sales are not enough and they are in fact losing money? OKok, i lazy find reference, if i'm wrong because you bothered to check it up then correct me.
Then, if they are not earning money, why sponsor EPL? If you noticed, they have ps3 billboards by the pitch. First, we humans HAVE to read it even though we have no intentions, so we are programmed to think sony ps3. But putting up the ad there is wayyyyy expensive, but they did it anyway, to project an image that they are doing well? to make a firm statement they can make it? either way it works one way or another.

christians can in the same way be packaged into an acceptable image.
Note:
I bring bible to Uni everyday, then occasionally i take it out (but i do read for serious purposes), but imagine i took it out for show, and soemtimes i do ter-take it out to take something behind it, people who sees it will go "whoa, bible! Some more everyday." then they'll starts aying how good a christian i am and then they too bring a bible everyday.
So easy to just tell people i'm a christian.

I guess everyone can claim to be a superchristian without trying. But the bible tells us, its by grace not by works.
Let us work towards being a God follower rather than just a christian!
Amen!
whoo-hoo!
