Christian Marketing 101

So sad to see christian events being marketed like a POWER BRAND. Convention announcements bearing the name of the Leader with no name of JESUS at all.

In the New Testament, we can read a perfect example of an opportunity for Peter and John to SHINE. In Acts 3:12-26, instead of taking credits for themselves, they change the direction of the SPOTLIGHT to JESUS.

Another is our reason in going to church. Which is better together or MEETING with the ONE TRUE KING? There is nothing wrong with HYPED MARKETING tag lines, what's wrong is sending a different focus apart from the true purpose of going to church. Acts 2 depicts the creation of the first Christian Church. Beginning in verse 17 to 36 Peter talked about JESUS alone, he did not talked about being a member of a group, or joining a boot camp for 3days. But Peter just simply pointed everyone to the Messiah our Saviour.

Being in church alowed them to experience the goodness of God, seing miracles of healing, deliverance, signs and wonders straight to their faces. These instilled to them the FEAR GOD in their hearts.

" Everyone was filled with AWE at the many wonders and signs performed by the apostles." (Acts 2:43 NIV).

This fear of God, in other words RESPECT of GOD, creates genuine repentance. As true disciples of Christ, it is responsible for our auto response to sin which is to recoil. Also it builds emotion of guilt in our hearts when we do wrong.

We don't need a different marketing strategy to promote JESUS. He is not a commodity anyway. He is the KING of KINGS and LORD of LORDS.
