Golden Chick, Golden Calf by Marian Casillas, Ed.D.
Golden Chick,
Golden Calf
Galatians
5:22-23
“The fruit
of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
gentleness, self-control.”
The
commercialization and consumerism of Biblical virtues for advertising and
marketing purposes takes what is beautiful, good, and true and perverts it to
sell their commodities, goods, products, merchandise, and wares.
Biblical
virtues are beautiful, good, and true and all humanity is attracted to them and
wants to attach itself to them.
Our soul
basks in what is beautiful, gravitates toward what is good, and is transformed
by what is true.
Even the atheists
and pagans recognize the attractiveness of the virtuous life and utilize it in
their advertisements.
Golden Chick
sells their chicken pieces and their chicken tenders and they want us to love
them.
Peace, love, kindness,
goodness, faithfulness, and gentleness!
Live the
truly victorious and virtuous life only in Christ Our Lord!
Marian Casillas, Ed.D.
