Several months ago Burger King was in a pickle… and not the kind they put on their burgers. Two employees were caught spitting in a police officer’s hamburger after forensic evidence revealed that there was more than just a special sauce on the whopper. The media had a field day and reports against Burger King came flooding in.
The known incident only occurred at one, lone Burger King in Vancouver, Washington, but I haven’t stepped foot into the fast food franchise since. Why? Because one incident mars any future desire to support the organization.
Whether we realize it or not, one bad interaction or perceived reputation of a place can mar someone from ever stepping foot into an organization.
When speaking about our generation (ages 18-30), one of the main inhibiting factors stopping people from hearing about, receiving from, or interacting with Christianity is the hypocrisy and duality seen from church attendees. But wait, you say. It’s not me. I’m not like that. I am not a Sunday morning Christian. I want to love and engage with people who don’t believe the same things I do.
That’s awesome. But like I said, one incident mars more than we think. Most of this generation has seen people attend church and about 84% of generation has attended church at least once. And for many, they walk out from our sanctuaries knowing more of the things we are against, rather than the things we’re for.
Don’t get me wrong. As Christ’s representatives, we have to hold on and acknowledge that there is a holy Creator who holds us to a standard that exists beyond our finite, cracked lives. Essentially, we are against sin and for righteousness. So yes, I believe all of this should alter who we are and how we think.
But do they sense love from us [those professing to be Christ followers]? Do they see grace in our speech and thoughts of others [grace and truth]? Do they feel accepted in their broken point of life? Whether you are 14, 44, or 84 you have an opportunity to re-present a God who loves us in spite of us. Not just in a pew in a church, but at they gym, in the market, at the office, or in the classroom.
Thoughts, comments, stones to throw? It’s all welcomed.
A fun topic merits provide feedback. It is my opinion that you should generate more on this particular area, it could not become a taboo issue but normally people are inadequate to talk on such information. To the next. Cheers
Excellent read, I just passed this onto a friend who was doing some research on that. And he just bought me lunch since I found it for him smile Therefore let me rephrase that: Thanks for lunch!

This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
