]]> Comment on Practicing Discernment in Your Inbox by jasonlowe http://theloweshow.wordpress.com/2008/09/03/practicing-discernment-in-your-inbox/#comment-2 jasonlowe Thu, 04 Sep 2008 12:49:16 +0000 http://theloweshow.wordpress.com/?p=43#comment-2 I just received a forward with a picture of Jesus and the following message attached to it: "The President of Argentina received this picture and called it 'junk mail', 8 days later his son died. A man received this picture & immediately sent out copies..his surprise was winning the lottery. Alberto Martinez received this picture, gave it to his secretary to make copies but they forgot to distribute: she lost her job & he lost his family. This picture is miraculous & sacred. Forward to 1O people." The sad thing is that this message was forwarded 7 times before it got to me with the sender adding the comment that they "couldn't take the chance and not send it". Is the picture miraculous & sacred? No. Is the person in the picture miraculous & sacred? Without a doubt! Will people listen to this message and forward on the email? Yes, because it's easy and it requires nothing from them. Will people listen to the message of the gospel and confess Jesus Christ as their Savior and repent of their sins? Some do, but many won't because it's hard and it requires everything from them. May we continue to pray for biblical discernment and may we take action in our churches to train disciples so that they can stand up against such faulty beliefs!
