Hello Marketeers
So there has been a lot of talk about politicians recently. In fact one politician, as part of the series Tower block of commons (click here to go to 4OD page with Acton episode),
stayed with a mum and her kids on the South Acton Estate. It’s amazing how often politicians get distanced from the very people they believe they are representing.
And let’s face it, it’s amazing how often we all get removed from the very people we are called to represent and serve (Isaiah 58:6-8).
This program, along with others like “Secret Millionaire” are fascinating to me because I love seeing people choose to close the gap between the have’s and have not’s.
But I don’t think you need to be a millionaire to close this gap. You don’t even need to be able to make someone fully better (whatever you perceive that to be), in fact Jesus
was controversial because he implied we even get that the wrong way around, the have’s and have nots, the blessed and the not blessed (Matt 5:1-12). Who’s really blessed here?
In all of these T.V. programs one thing strikes me… We need to be blessed by have/have not as much as the have/have not needs us to bless us (delete as you feel appropriate!).
The Market is not a place of solutions but of beginning to work together, we pray, for the glory of God (Matt. 25: 34-40).
