HOW MUCH IS A WHITE SHIRT WORTH?
A Captain of Corrections came into the dorm.
He demands we stand to honor his Presence.
"Oh, while you're up".
So begins today's sermon.
How much is a football worth?
How much is a basketball worth?
Place them in the hands of Tom Brady or Lebrone James.
Now, how much are they worth?
Now comes his hook.
How much are three nails worth?
Place them in the hands of Jesus.
Now, how much are they worth?
I first heard this comparison made with an old fiddle in the hands of a violin virtuoso. If it had been made by a man who walked the way he talked, it could have made a tremendous impact.
But you force me to ask, How much is a white shirt worth?
I guess that depends on WHERE you bought it or who wears it.
Since you brought up Jesus, let's put one on him and compare.
When the reformed good, the habitually bad and the permanently ugly are housed together, would Jesus punish the good simply because their mixed in with the bad and ugly?
No!
Jesus would use his white shirt to stand in THE GAP, not letting the ones with a history of reformed behavior fall through the cracks.
DONNA KAREN NEW YORK, but she didn't know anything about the official unofficial policy that has inmates policing dorms. Abusing people with substance abuse problems.
As long as it looks good for inspection, they run those dorms like a BANANA REPUBLIC. Jesus would have officers in charge.
ARMANI people have been abused by proxy?
Everyone act NIKE doesn't know.
Jesus wouldn't preach personal responsibility, and then hold the whole dorm accountable for the actions of a few DICKIES.
Jesus would make sure laundry gets our clothes clean.
But if you want whites that aren't grey or brown, then it's hand washing FUBU.
Jesus wouldn't need to multiply loaves and fishes to feed us.
He'd hold Aramark accountable.
Instead the gulf between what we get and what we should is like OCEAN PACIFIC.
Jesus would be so constant in his behavior, the lost wouldn't have to GUESS what a real Christian is like.
Don't worry TOMMY HILFIGER it out.
Just another knock off.
So, how much is a white shirt worth?
Tell us in actions please, not labels that you wear.
