I was driving down the road the other day on 291 hwy. A big billboard for a local haunted house called "The Edge of Hell" jumped out at me. Along with scary pictures and the typical skeleton pictures, was their tagline: "The most fun you can have.... legally."
At first I thought this may just be a funny way to attract attention, but then I realised that with all the stress, problems, broken relationships in the world, there are people who view "real fun" as the type that is illegal to do. What types of illegal activities? Drugs like pot, cocaine or prostitution???? I wonder what a young person would think viewing that billboard. The culture (tv ads, billboards, people in our lives) all provide an opportunity for us to talk with our children or teens or adult friends. We can talk about the hurt in the world and the way people (including Christians) try to "cure" their hurt.
What images, billboards, commercials or people in your life have you used to illustrate a point or start a conversation with your child or friend about our culture, and ultimately about the only true cure- a relationship with Jesus Christ?
