Unless your have had your head buried like an ostrich, you've been inundated this week with news about Tiger Woods, the previously squeaky clean golfing superstar. Suddenly, more than his car seems to be wrecked. I've been trying to avoid the media coverage concerning his "transgressions," but it has been headlining everyday. In this week's installment of my Messages About Purpose and Strategy, I don't really want to chime in on the Tigergate scandal. Instead I want to make an observation about our world that should influence our ministry mindset. Isn't it amazing how our culture seems so focused on the lifestyles of the rich and famous? We follow the lives of celebrities with intense fascination. They have no privacy. Paparazzi document their every move. Commentators are quick to judge their appearance, actions, and values. Who is best dressed? Who is cheating on whom? Who is getting divorced? Who is in and who is out? I'm convinced this atrocious addiction to media reports is an example of the emptiness of modern mundane life. People seek to enter the lives of the stars because they have no life of their own. There is really only one person who deserves such focus. The only one worth celebrating is Jesus himself. Recognize, as you seek to serve him, that many people are living boring irrelevant lives of silent desperation. We can help our world "get a life" - the life of Christ!
