Conflicting Messages
I was in Office Depot today and saw one of the best displays of conflicting messages I have ever seen. A couple was shopping for a new cable modem. The first helpful salesman while not truly understanding the questions the couple were asking recommended a specific piece of equipment telling the couple the other one they were looking at always got returned and wouldn't work for them. Salesman #1 walks away and salesman #2 enters the scene shortly thereafter. You guessed it; he gave the exact opposite advice as someone else on his own team just had. Reminds me of the mixed messages that churches often send out. How can multiple churches who should be on the same side have so many conflicting messages? The problem comes when you substitute your opinion for the Truth. The bible is the ultimate guide and always contains the truth. It's the twisted way that the church retells the story that gets things all screwed up.
