"Let your speech always be with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to
answer each one." (Col. 4:6)
Recently I read an interesting item in the newspaper that illustrates the importance of mental
associations in making decisions. A high school in Virginia offered a course called "Home
Economics for Boys." Needless to say, it got little attention. So, the following year it was
renamed, "Bachelor Living." You guessed it! The effect was overwhelming -- 120 boys promptly
signed up. The curriculum never changed. It still offered traditional instruction in cooking,
sewing, laundry, and money management. But it needed the right image before the students
would give the class a second look.
As we present Christ to the world, let's not forget that the message must never change, but the methods may vary. (From Bible Illustrator)
