What's wrong with this article?
I'll help. What's wrong with the article is that the writer didn't expunge all of the hope and faith from the article to make it a story of some anonymous and strange "religion."
Or...maybe it's because the writer couldn't remove all of the hope and faith because he wouldn't have anything to write.
What about you? If someone came and interviewed you, could they write an article without mentioning God's hand and plan in your life? God isn't something that works for me or Danny Wuerffel or Robbie Seay, but doesn't work for you. He's not a pill that some people like to take to get through. He's not Viagra.
He's more like gravity. He is. He's here. He rules. He's the one who is ordering our lives. And, like gravity, our acknowledgement of His existence does not call Him into existence. Whether you want to believe there is gravity or not is immaterial to whether it truly exists.
If you said you didn't believe in gravity, it would not release you from its laws and let you float.
If you said you didn't believe in God, He would not relent and let you out of His love and His plan and His call for you. A call for you. Can you hear it? He's calling you and me and Zoe and Bat. And Carol Post and Andreas. And Ted and Dan and Erika. And Brooke and Your Favorite Baseball Player Chris Sampson. Once you hear it, and it's working in you, you might not know how you got there, but the view sure is great.

Unfortunately, most forms of media can grossly misrepresent people, what they stand for, and what motivates them. My journalist friend calls it "spin." You could spin what anyone says any way you want. This is the power of marketing and media. We, like the couch potatoes our parents were afraid we would become, might not bother to find out more than what the news tells us. (/gripe)
ReplyDeleteAs far as the article? Either the writer didn't want anyone to know the living God that called Wuerffel to the work he was doing, masking it with "spin." Or he didn't ever really get a grip of what that thing was, and couldn't describe what he didn't understand. Maybe this isn't Wuerffel's fault so much as the spin of what makes something "marketable" or not.
Christ says in the book of Matthew: “Let your light shine before men in such a way that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father who is in heaven." Big W seems like he's doing some works. Maybe someone someday will ask him why.
