When I receive an offer to purchase a thousand dollar so-and-so item for $29.95, I instantly send that email/mailer/ad straight to the trash. Do I trash it because it's a bad offer? No, it is destroyed because it's a false offer. I am being offered something that for all practical purposes is not what it seems on the surface. The goal of the sender is not to give me some incredible gift… their unstated agenda is to gain something from me that otherwise I would not give to them. They are attempting to whet my appetite with the super-super bargain which in the end I probably won't even end up with.
Their ploy has been used by hucksters from the beginning of time, and many have fallen prey to it.
About the Composer
- tAaOS
- In those wee hours of the morning; in those quiet, private times spent with the Lord; in those times of prayer and faithfully studying His word; that was when the Alpha & Omega Suite came to it's composer. This didn't happen instantaneously, but slowly and consistently over the course of nine years, beginning in 2000 and going through 2008. Accuracy to God's Word was more important than finishing the Suite quickly, which is a process that flies in contrast with the way things are normally done in our throw-away, media-centered culture. But, when dealing with the concept of God, it's important that our proclamation is based upon what He has revealed of Himself and not on the imaginations of fallen humanity.
