The Faberge Organic Effect

Does anybody besides me remember Faberge Organic shampoo and conditioner?  You know, Joe Namath did television ads for them for a while and the girls had the most beautiful (and almost impossible to achieve) Farrah-Fawcett-esque hair.  The tag line from the while commercials:  "I told two friends, and they told two friends, and so on, and so on . . . " would play while the images on your television multiplied by twos until the screen was full of small squares of people.  The idea was that this stuff was so good that you had to tell everyone else about it and that they were going to love it.  This is the Faberge Organic Effect.

Fast forward to August 11, 2010, at  Stockbridge Community Church.  We were taking prayer requests in our Wednesday night group and someone was mentioned and we started trying to figure out how theses folks got invited to SCC.   Do you know what we determined?  They were invited via the Faberge Organic Effect. Someone else came to SCC, felt loved, belonged, and told someone else.  What they found was so good that they couldn't keep it to themselves.  They had to tell others.  I did it.  I know plenty of people who have done it. 

We have to tell other people about Jesus.  That's the only way that they are likely to know about Him.  Romans 10:14 says "and how can they believe in him if they have never heard about him? And how can they hear about him unless someone tells them?" 

It's our job to tell the people that we encounter about Jesus.  It's our place to show Him to others by the way that we live. 

Put the Faberge Organic Effect into play in your life and let me know the outcome.  I can't wait to hear what happens when you tell two friends and they tell two friends and so on and so on . . .
