A man in the television commercial declared he was pain-free after taking the medicine for three weeks. I have two doctors of pharmacy as nieces and I’m sure they would never get on TV and promote such a thing. How many with chronic pain are being taken in by such foolishness?
Unfortunately, this also happens in Christendom with false presentations of the gospel. The promotion is that if you accept their brand of Christianity, usually by sending in some money, you’ll never be sick, all your problems will be solved and you’ll become unbelievably prosperous. Of course, if that doesn’t happen, it’s because you lack faith. They have all the bases covered.
After finishing his jail sentence, one televangelist took a brand-new wife and went right back into the business of selling his spiritual snake oil. An old friend of mine once told an acquaintance, “You should tell Gardner to go to Texas because there is money to be made in religion in Texas.”
Peter addressed it:
1 Peter 5:2
Be good shepherds of the flock God has put in your care. Do not care for the flock as if you were made to. Do not care for the flock for money, but do it because you want to.
Give it some thought and if you want to throw some money away you can direct it my way.
