Ever change a baby’s diaper after what sounded like a cannon blast, only to discover there’s not a whole lot of substance inside?
As church communications directors, we have to be careful that our promotional materials aren’t just a bunch of noise, and then when people arrive there’s nothing to back up what’s been advertised.
1 Corinthians 13:1 says, If I could speak all the languages of earth and of angels, but didn’t love others, I would only be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal.
This tells me that whatever I’m working on has to have some real substance to it. I want whatever I work on to reflect the fact that our church loves people, because that’s what Jesus did – love people.
I don’t want to be a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal (or even an exploding diaper, for that matter). Personally speaking, sometimes it’s not easy, but I want to be someone who automatically loves others. I want to be part of a church that naturally does too.

There was definitely some of that substance on our carpet the other night. Mr. Maxwell wasn’t just making noise!
