I don’t share chain letters disguised as prayer circles, you know the kind that promises if you send it on to ten other people you will be blessed, no that is superstition. Nor do I do the “like” if you love Jesus shares because that is like “standing on the corner to be seen of men” to quote the Gospel. I feel the same way about the advertising ploy of again “sharing” in order to prove you believe in God that is cheap branding and no I do not believe in tithing campaigns which is a way of increasing the bottom line for budget strained parishes and congregations especially those wanting to pay the pastor “a salary equal to the secular market”!

Just so anyone needs to know this: the old fashion “chain letter” and all the incarnations of the “pyramid scheme” are alive and well on the Internet and especially on Facebook. When you get a posting that says to pass “this blessing” around to ten other people that is a chain letter. It is superstition as well. Remember “God sends rain on the just and the unjust”. In addition postings that invite you to “like” are another form of this superstition with the added twist of self centered pride. “Like” if you love Jesus or “Like” if you are saved or blessed whatever is saying like the Pharisee old “Thank you God that I am not like one of THOSE people”! Don’t play these silly games either with God, yourself or any one else! Bishop Andrew Gerales Gentry
