THOUGHTS
Lost in
Translation
Words can sometimes get
lost in translation. Jeanne M. Fox, a regional administrator for the
Environmental Protection Agency, travelled extensively abroad and took note of
several signs intended to inform American tourists. She remembers an airline
ticket office in Copenhagen boasted, “We take your bags and send them in all
directions.” A Swiss restaurant said, “Our wines leave you with nothing
to hope for.” An Acapulco hotel wanted to assure its guests with this sign
at the front desk, “The manager has personally
passed all the water served here.” But her favorite sign was posted
in one of the finer hotels in Paris, “Please leave your values at the front
desk.”
The world can get a bit
uncomfortable for Christians from time to time. As we are traveling through
this life, we will often be asked to “check our values” at the door and pick
them up later. We should never become so comfortable on our visit that we
forget we are here representing another world.
Romans
12:2
Do not
conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the
renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's
will is--his good, pleasing and perfect will.
I love you all,
Tim
