Media impact personalised

by Bruce Wadd

 

What a way to spend Boxing Day? Finding out about the huge tsunami in South East Asia.  Hundreds of thousands of people killed.  Millions of lives affected around the world.

 

Remember September 11? It is permanently etched in many people’s minds as a turning point in this world’s history.

 

October brings around the anniversary of the Bali bombing, and the many families were impacted around the world by this avoidable tragedy.

 

And I recall how normal television programming was suspended as the world was told of the space shuttle Columbia disaster.

 

Isn’t it amazing how the media can powerfully inform and invade our daily lives?

 

As a Christian you can have that same level of impact on someone you connect with.  It may be that you are the only person to influence your friend for eternity – just before their 9/11!! 

 

Who can you influence with the Gospel?  Are there people you know searching for answers to eternal questions because of the impact of media-driven disasters?

 

“Go and make disciples in all the nations,
baptising them into the name of the Father

and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit…”
Matthew 28:19

 

Today, why not personalise media impact by sharing God’s love with someone!
