1 Corinthians 7:31
[paraphrasing] This age will pass away but use the things of this world “lightly”, do not put your trust in them but trust God.
Advertising is meant to grab and hold the human attention; and usually works very well. Which is why advertisers continue, endlessly with their ads.
Buy this. Do that. You can’t live without this! Be happy, spend money.
Amongst many of the ‘worldly pulls,’ Christians are to live ‘apart’ from worldly things — Ideas, religions, philosophies, societal rituals. . . Holiday traditions, family traditions, and the notion, “When in Rome do as Romans do”. . . Cars, airplanes, other physical items too numerous to mention.
The things of this world help us in our daily living
And teach us realities of Heaven
Of God, and Christ and the Holy Spirit
But they are not Heaven
They are symbols, and are transient
