Million Dollar Yachts

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, one million Bibles can reach such a place and 5 million souls saved. That number rises to 50 million souls for one of the 10 million dollar yachts, and for one of the 250-500 million dollar Gigayachts, 250-500 million Bibles can reach the lost and 1.25-2.5 billion souls - 20-40% of the earth's entire population - saved!

As mentioned earlier, yachts are by definition boats of pleasure. Will God, in whom you believe, be pleased with you spending His dollars on (multi-) million dollar pleasure toy while millions of Christians around the world are without Bibles? If you truly can't do without yachts, why not pick from among the small yachts and invest the rest of your dollars in eternity?

And let's remember the Words of Jesus:

"And that servant who knew his master’s will, and did not prepare himself or do according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes. But he who did not know, yet committed things deserving of stripes, shall be beaten with few. For everyone to whom much is given, from him much will be required; and to whom much has been committed, of him they will ask the more." (Luke 12:47-48)
