Maybe if we relied less on enticing words of mans wisdom and more on the demonstration and power we wouldn't have to worry about the "package", the product would sell itself.
What was Jesus' packaging? Did he dress in the world's finest?
Did He go for plastic surgery to enhance His appearance? Did he make sure He had the best lighting and music? Did he perform with grand theatrics? Did He have a great PR team and front men? What about advertising? What about the Church in the Book of Acts, did they have an awesome program with the finest scripted preaching and teaching?
All the best, brightest, most beautiful packaging can not substitute for the power of the Holy Ghost. If anything all generations are looking for something real, something of substance. They've seen all the hype and glitz and know what it is to have a product that doesn't match the flashy package.
What we need is the genuine love of Jesus living and breathing in our everyday life. A love that shows enough concern that we actually pray for the sick and are committed to helping those that are less fortunate then us.
Perhaps an emphasis on producing the fruit of the Spirit and acting with the gifts of the Spirit.
