Christ was not an American Idol and look what He did.

As I listened to the young girls go on about Scotty McCreery I could not help but think as a Pastor preached today this young man has been given a platform by God. It is not that he is an American Idol yes by the program he appears on he is. An Idol is something people worship making them more of a God than God himself. I did not get that impression from this young man. I loved it how girls said oh and his a Christian, lets get this right he was probably a Christian before he sang. Christ was no American Idol but he reached how many!! We all have our platforms that Christ can use my daughter daily sends encouragaing words to her friend that does not give her a key to the town we live in. Many at Scotty's school may not see themselves as anything but when it is all said and done there are many who strive to do what is right and preach the message of Christ. Scotty is a young man with a huge platform there is a scripture and it says in basic English to whom much is given much will be expected. So when a person has that much of a platform God will expect it to be used for His glory and His alone. It is not in bringing the title to Raleigh or Garner but by people making a stand. You may think of yourself as a geek but if you preach and show the message of Christ you are just as important as Scotty McCreery your parade is in Heaven just not here.

Scotty McCreery just allowed his voice to be a vehicle to tell others about Christ.

At the end of the day what people need to see is Christ.

Don't get me wrong this young man has touched me in his stand but don't you think that you are less special because we all can make a differance. Charles Spurgeon, Billy Graham and you can change a world, use your platform.

Please have a cup of tea with me today.
