I've been getting a lot of advertising e-mails lately. It seems from every online motorcycle store I've ever purchased from.
And a few I have not!
Now the interesting thing is, I want to read the ads, they are selling things that interest me. Helmets, gloves, jackets, gear... The list goes on and on.
However, after a while, when you actually read these ads on a regular basis, you begin to see through the lie.
Each "sale" claims to be prices that are special, one time offers. Yet these sales are pretty much exactly the same, over and over, month after month.
So I stop believing the lies after a while. It's the same if you listen to someone who tells tall tales. At first they are interesting, but then, as they ramble on and you begin to realize that much of what they say is not really true, you are less and less interested in what they have to say.
That's one of the reasons why I'm daily in the word of God. It is always the truth, every time.
"This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. If we claim to have fellowship with him and yet walk in the darkness, we lie and do not live out the truth. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin." 1 John 1:5-7 (NIV)
