ICON TV

Sorry, I meant to post this days ago.

Last Sunday (21st February) we went to ICON TV in Wellington in Ballymena. It was a pretty sweet setup if a little loud for my aging ears. I just wish I'd volunteered for the contest. I can't do rap freestyle, but I am a bit of a fan of Mario Kart 64.

The message was that we don't have to be slaves to TV or advertising, or the messages in some of the music and the music videos aimed at teenagers. There's a cost to our lives if we only want to buy the next big thing. You lose money, the earth loses resources, and often poor people lose out completely. Take more of an interest in the world around you. Spend your money wisely.

But there's a bigger cost than mere money and resources. Where is our ultimate trust? Are we trusting the things we buy will make our lives better? Only Jesus can truly improve our lives. Following Jesus won't solve all your problems, but you will have a certain hope that your soul, your most valuable possession, will be safe.

Next week (Sunday 7th March) we're looking at the future!

Sunday 14th March: we're not meeting, but we're on the next week (21st March) for a night of more awesomeness.
