When I was watching TV a couple of days ago there was a commercial that came on with two monkeys looking through each other’s fur for bugs. I wasn’t really quite sure what the commercial could be about because it was going on for about five to ten seconds and it wasn’t saying anything. But then towards the end of the commercial, it said something along the lines of “You never really know what you’re dealing with: check your credit report today”. This made no sense to me whatsoever, and I found it to be a false analogy (an analogy between two things that are not similar enough to warrant an analogy). Two monkeys eating bugs off of each other is not similar enough to checking one’s credit report.
In Mr. Cline's class a few weeks ago. We took the day off in a way from our normal classes. Instead of continuing to read the books we were assigned and discussing them, he read us the sermon by C.S Lewis "The Weight of Glory." Its a long sermon, but one worth reading. It is about the confusion many people have on the topic of what we desire the most. He explains after much background information, that we all desire true happiness. And through that happiness, we long for heaven, our true home that we were designed for. He explains that glory is not what many people think of as being "famous" in heaven. But more that we are honored by our Lord and Father. For it to be like the scripture passage "Well done, good and faithful servant." C.S Lewis does a fantastic job at being persuasive here, and if read by the right person aloud, can have an excellent effect. He clears up lots of points that people bring up that are not true. Such as the point of glory...
