Name Tags: You Are… Talented!

The kingdom of heaven is like a man traveling to a far country, who called his own servants and delivered his goods to them. And to one he gave five talents, to another two, and to another one, to each according to his own ability; and immediately he went on a journey.

Matthew 25:14-15 (NKJV)

You're actors, models, and talent for Christ! God’s chosen communication task force, stepping into a field of fairytales!

He’s entrusted you with shiny talents in this captivating age of fiction: an age where “King Con” captures hearts and minds on large and tiny scenes by the millions…

  • Enchanting young eyes with fanciful sights,

  • Sticking them to a web of media,

  • Entertaining them in all kinds of ways,

  • Selling them trinkets and bad ideas…

So they settle for a spectator's life: laughing and crying with made-up stories (written by King Con's advertising team.) They're taught what to want, wear, eat, say, and do.

Perhaps his biggest con concerns freedom: convincing his prisoners that they're free! (Sooner or later, they learn they're not.)

But here you are, with your gifts and talents, entering his web with God's protection, advancing by God's will (NOT getting stuck), MULTIPLYING the talents He gave you… and glorifying Christ along the way?

  • What if the clear Truth in your performance (especially how you act in real life) opens blind eyes and sets the captives free?

  • What if lost lambs and stray sheep follow you… in film, fashion, music, or on Insta? What if they discover your greatest Love?

Then one day soon you'll hear these lovely Words...

'Well done, good and faithful servant; you were faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. Enter into the joy of your Lord...' (Matthew 25:21).

NOTE: God is my Ghostwriter. If what I write is good, it’s from God. You may see notes to 'Actors, Models & Talent for Christ.' If you think you're not in show business, think again. Shakespeare said, 'All the world's a stage and all its men and women merely players.’ Mostly true. But you're not merely players. You are messengers and ambassadors for the King of kings.
