Trusting the messenger

I find it interesting, that when you talk to people about news and where they get their news from, most people remain fairly loyal to their brand of choice.

Some will swear by a local news stations — especially their investigative reports.

Some will swear by CNN or MSNBC.

CNN reported this weekend that two men who found buried treasure in New England were arrested Thursday.

Apparently they couldnt keep their story straight and the police were suspicious. The police chiefs comments were great. “Had they kept quiet … they probably could have sold the money and no one would have ever known,” Police Chief Joseph E. Solomon said.

But think about it, if you had found “buried treasure” wouldn’t you want to tell the whole world? Sudden fame and riches all in one.

Yet, as Christians we still have the greatest message of all and we’re afraid to tell our neighbors.

Lord help us to be fishers of men.
