Seems to me that the Snoopy 1 and 2 MetLife blimps that cover televised sporting events with the slogan “For the if in Life” are a pretty effective way of getting out an insurance company’s name and message.
Could even get us thinking about the bigger “ifs in life”.
- If we make criticizing others our business, we will be criticized.
- If we make the law our message, we will be regarded as hypocrites.
- If we make government our hope, we will eventually be defeated.
- If we make who Jesus is, and what he did for us, what he is doing in us, and what he can enable us to do for others our overwhelming pre-occupation, we will be acting as if we believe the Scriptures when they tell us:
- He created everything.
- He died for everyone.
- He will save anyone who trusts him.
- He can enable us to do anything he wants us to do
- No one else deserves to be compared to him.
- No one else is the source of the life our hearts were made for.
- No one else and nothing else deserves our trust.
If he “has our hearts” we will reflect his attitudes toward everyone.
PS… Here’s a picture of what remains of the boat that Bob from Cornwall England talked about in his comments below. Bob took some pics of the boat in different conditions. This shows how it ended up. Thanks Bob!
