It has been awhile since I have had the opportunity to spend some time writing and so I thought that I would steal a few minutes of time and take a look at what has been going on here.  I was pretty amazed to find the number of "spam" comments to the post at our site.  Not that I didn't expect that eventually they would find their way here, but rather just the volume of spam related comments.  Everything from online poker, to porn to cheap drugs.  After reading through several of the comments, most of which had nothing to do with the blog itself, I had a little Spam removal party.  As I was having my spam party, I couldn't help but thing about the number of endless Spam related messages that we receive on a daily basis.  And I'm not talking about just the ones that you get by e-mail, text message or on your social networking page, but the ones that we see in the media, hear on the radio or see on billboards as we travel from place to place.  It used to be that we called this advertising, and while I am sure that the name still fit's based upon some sort of loosely based loophole definition, I think that it has lost much of the original intent.  Now please don't misinterpret what I am saying here.  I am not blasting the advertising community and condemning their actions but rather am simply stating that the sometimes endless barrages of spam or advertising seems to have increased to the point that we don't even consciously perceive how much of it is coming across anymore.

That said, if we have become oblivious to the amount of spam that we receive on a daily basis, how much of this subliminal advertising is affecting us daily and how do we manage the spam in our life?  Ideally we would have a "delete spam" button built within each of us that would allow us to purge from existence what we have just seen or had flash before our eyes, much like we have on this website (sorry spammers).  And although I yet to find that button, I know beyond a shadow of a doubt, something that is better.  His name is Jesus and getting to know Him, accepting Him into your life and spending time reading about Him in God's Holy and Inspired words, also known as the Bible, is far better than any magic delete button.

Our hearts desire here at Knight Vision Ministries is to share the Good News of Jesus with each and everyone of you.  If you would like to know about Jesus, drop us a line - we would be glad to share with you and help you develop a very personal and real relationship with our Lord and Savior.  If you already know our Lord and Savior, may God bless you.  My encouragement to each of you today is to be mindful of the spam in your life and how you manage it.

As for those of you who are submitting the spam comments...

God bless you as well.  We will continue to pray for you.  We would love to share the Good News of Jesus with you as well!

Your brother in Christ,

Jim
