Timex Bush
Why imitate second-tier powers like
Putin and Berlusconi when you can watch
of the most powerful men in the world?
Over the last two decades,
US President George Bush wore a $50 Timex watch and Bill Clinton also wore a
Timex watch as
President (Bill Clinton and George Bush still wears Timex). When it comes to a
watch, the
ultimate statement of power is an understatement.
Also, consider this: according to
Bible Smugglers,
for $2, organizations like
Asia Harvest can print and smuggle a
Bible into a country where they are banned, and for every Bible that reaches such
a region, 5 people on average come to believe in Jesus.
Instead of spending $10000 or $60000, let alone $540000 to imitate
the princes of this world, why not be good stewards of God's money by wearing a
$50 Timex like George Bush and Bill Clinton, or Swatch, Tissot, Casio or Citizen, and donate the difference to
winning souls for Christ?
For $9950 ($10000-$50 Time
x), over 4400 Bibles can reach the lost and over 22000 souls
won. For $59950, over 26000 Bibles can reach the lost and over 130000 souls won. For
$539950, those numbers rise to almost a quarter million Bibles
delivered and 1.2 million souls won.
Think about this. Luxury watches are by definition watches that cost more than their utility.
Thousands of souls can be saved just by
you wearing something a less shiny watch. You
can use God-entrusted money to please yourself or to serve God. The
consequences, according to Jesus, are serious:
"Blessed are those servants whom the master, when
he comes, will find watching. Assuredly, I say to you that he will gird
himself and have them sit down to eat, and will come and serve them. And if
he should come in the second watch, or come in the third watch, and find
them so, blessed are those servants. But know this, that if the master of
the house had known what hour the thief would come, he would have watched
and not allowed his house to be broken into. Therefore you also be ready,
for the Son of Man is coming at an hour you do not expect.” Then Peter said
to Him, “Lord, do You speak this parable only to us, or to all people?” And
the Lord said, “Who then is that faithful and wise steward, whom his master
will make ruler over his household, to give them their portion of food in
due season? Blessed is that servant whom his master will find so doing when
he comes. Truly, I say to you that he will make him ruler over all that he
has. But if that servant says in his heart, ‘My master is delaying his
coming,’ and begins to beat the male and female servants, and to eat and
drink and be drunk, the master of that servant will come on a day when he is
not looking for him, and at an hour when he is not aware, and will cut him
in two and appoint him his portion with the unbelievers. 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 12:37-48)
