Advert

The brand name of my personal computer is Toshiba. I am very satisfied with it’s functions, and speed, particularly after adding an extra Gig. of RAM.
As a (weird) person who enjoys commercials on TV, but who is largely unaffected by they messages. I have wondered about Apple computers. It isn’t that I need a new computer. It is simply the massively successful advertisements that seem to appear in many shows, and soaps. It is simply that in many scenes, a laptop is open with the Apple brand in full view.
It should call us to wonder, are our lives having the same or better impact in advertising that we are Jesus Folk.


Zech. 8:23 (Msg)
A Message from God-of-the-Angel-Armies:
"At that time, ten men speaking a variety of languages will grab the sleeve of one Jew, hold tight, and say, 'Let us go with you. We've heard that God is with you.' "

The goliath companies like Apple etc would seem to have an endless marketing budget. Certainly there would be no budgetary requirememnts when it comes to singing the praise of our Lord Jesus Christ.

One thing I did wonder though is whatever happened to the Christian Television Association? They used to have streams of advertisements through the 80's and 90's, but I can't remember too many of late.
