"Wow! I absolutely adore this photo from the Times. Not one smile in the bunch, never mind ebullience, mania or even pleasant anticipation.(HT: Seth's Blog)
Just because a marketer says something is amazing, exciting or just plain wow doesn't mean it is."
People evaluate and make judgments about us not based on our clever slogans or buzzwords, but rather what they see. What about Big Creek Church, what about you and I? When people come to Big Creek or any church for that matter, how are they greeted, what is their experience? We can't say that we are lovers of Christ and yet walk around looking constipated. When people come to church on Sunday morning what do they see in the people they meet?
I am not saying that we should paint on fake and phony smiling faces. Rather I am saying that God's love should be so captivating and transforming in our lives that it would spill over in our interactions with others. People would see Spirit-filled WOW! in our lives because we have met with Jesus.
