“Truth in advertising?”

“Truth in advertising?”

I just watched four commercials for auto insurance, each of which promised lower rates than the others. How can this be?

Is there no “truth in advertising? How is this allowed?

The truth is that advertisers have no more obligation to truth than does Satan. Both are dedicated to convincing us to think their way and buy into their program.

As with advertising, it is in our best interest to do our own research to discern the truth concerning our spiritual life. Yet, some of us will study insurance comparisons more diligently than the bible.

For the Christian, discernment comes from a frequent look imto The Word.

2 Timothy 2:15 (New American Standard Bible), "Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, handling accurately the Word of truth."

We can’t be lazy and expect our Pastor to be the only one obligated to study the Word. We are mandated by the Word to be responsible for our own emersion in the gospel.

Acts 17:11 (New International Version), "These were more noble minded than those in Thessalonica for they received the Word with great eagerness, examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so."

Joshua 1:8 (New International Version)
8 Do not let this Book of the Law depart from your mouth; meditate on it day and night, so that you may be careful to do everything written in it. Then you will be prosperous and successful.


It is my desire to “prosper and be successful” in my walk with God.

May God be a blessing in your life!!!
