PR?

Sometimes Jesus was great at promoting his ministry, like when he fed the multitude. If you were his PR rep, moments like that would have made your job a breeze. He had a large and hungry crowd, but he takes care of them. A PR rep wouldn't have to spin that or seek the attention of the people.

On the other hand, there were other moments that would just drive you mad. Take today's sermon text, Mark 7.24-37, where Jesus tries to hide his healings. That's when a PR rep would take Jesus out back and give him a good talking-to.

What do we make of this? Do we promote the good things our church is doing? Or do we let our deeds speak for themselves and spread through word of mouth?

I really don't know--and it's rare for me not to have a hard opinion.

So, what do you think?
