Million Dollar Yachts
So,
you believe the money for yachts is a blessing from God.
Well, before spending it on quarter million dollar yachts, let alone 250
million dollar yachts like Microsoft cofounder Paul Allen's Octopus (photo), consider this:
for one dollar, one Bible can reach a Christian in a country where they are banned, and every Bible that
reaches such a place results on average in 5 new Christians (source).For the price of one of the quarter million dollar yachts, 250,000 Bibles can reach such a place and 1.25 million souls saved. For one of the million dollar yachts, a million Bibles can reach it and 5 million souls saved. The number rises to 50 million souls for a 10 million dollar yacht; for the half-billion dollar Gigayacht, 500 million Bibles can reach the lost and 2.5 billion souls - 40% of the earth's population - saved!
As mentioned earlier, a yacht is by definition a boat of pleasure. Will God, in whom you believe, be pleased with you spending His money on a (multi-) million dollar pleasure toy while millions of Christians around the world are without Bibles? If you truly can't do without a yacht, why not pick a small yacht and invest the rest in eternity?
