Here is another little anecdote I found when I was going through my papers recently. It has an excellent lesson in its cleverness. This one is 21 years old, so the ads are a bit dated, but the message is still clear.

A fifth-grade teacher in a Christian school, asked her class to look at TV commercials and see if they could use them in some way to communicate ideas relating to God. Here are some of the results and I think they are wonderful.

God is like Bayer Aspirin. He works miracles.

God is Like Ford. He’s got a better idea.                      

God is like Coke. He’s the real thing.

God is like Hallmark cards. He cares enough to send the very best.

God is like Tide. He gets the stains out that others leave behind.

God is like General Electric. He brings good things to life.

God is like Sears.  He has everything.

God is like Alka Seltzer. Try Him, you’ll like Him.

God is like Scotch Tape. You can’t see Him, but you know He’s there.

God is like Delta Airlines. He’s ready when you are.

God is like Allstate. You’re in good hands with Him.

God is like VO-5 Hairspray. He holds through all kinds of weather.

God is like Dial Soap. Aren’t you glad you have Him? Don’t you wish everybody did?

God is like the U.S. Postal Service. Neither rain, nor snow, nor sleet, nor ice will keep Him from His appointed destination.

In this simple class assignment, God’s unconditional love for us shines brightly and assures of His greatness and promises to us if we believe in Him and ask Him into our hearts. Thanks be to God!
