- Have a _____ and a smile.
- _________, taste the rainbow.
- You got you ________ in my peanut butter!
- Have it your way, at ___________.
- Silly rabbit, __________ are for kids!
Check your answers - see how you did:
1) Coke 2) Skittles 3) Chocolate 4) Burger King 5) Trix
Most of us not can not only complete each one of these, but also remember the commercial. A smile probably crossed our face, and for at least a few of them we could probably remember the taste of each. It's amazing how repetition over the years causes us to remember certain thing.
Then, in a moment of nostalgia, we can think back to an enjoyable time when we enjoyed a coke with friends, or ate Trix while watching Saturday morning cartoons.
Now... complete the following scriptures:
- For all have sinned and __________________. (Romans 3:23)
- For the wages of sin ___________, but the ____________________. (Romans 6:23)
- God demonstrates His own love for us, in that while ______________________. (Romans 5:8)
- Whoever will call on the name of the Lord __________________. (Romans 10:13)
- That if thou shalt confess with ___________________________, and shalt believe __________________ that God _______________, thou shalt be _______________. For with the heart _______________________________; and with the mouth _______________________. (Romans 10:9-10)
Check the references... how did you do? The scripture chosen was from a witnessing tool called "The Romans Road" - it basically demonstrates the core of what Christians believe when it comes to the need for salvation and the method of how man obtains salvation.
How many ad slogans did you get right?
How many scriptures did you get right?
Remember this... struggling as a Christian means that you're know what you're struggling to achieve. If you want to struggle against sin, you have to have something in your heart that helps to motivate you.
"Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee." Psalm 119:11
Unfortunately, too many Christians would have failed on much of the scripture memoriztion, but succeeded in the slogans. See what too much television does. Now if we were to spend in time with God just half of the time we spent watching television; what would happen in our hearts & minds? Just a thought...great post Duane.
