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?
