I notice that with social media so prevalent that Christian leaders are presenting themselves to the public with slick professional 'Hollywood' style images that supposedly represent Christlikeness.
Jesus chose at the pinnacle of His earthly ministry to ride into Jerusalem on a borrowed donkey.
Is this modern trend a misrepresentation of what is real success ?
Are we being encouraged to judge by appearances ? (which Jesus didn't do)
Or do we feel safe in a church with plenty of flash cars as if true spirituality reflects in possessions.
Sadly it seems that salesmanship and upbeat promotion is being used to attract folks to church and they can completely miss the real Jesus who is more likely to be found with the poor, blind and lame.
