The “Hurray For You” Culture

[VIDEO IS DOWN]

I’m almost not sure what to say about this video here. Am I more depressed that this is an actual product or more depressed that people actually buy it…?

I don’t think we’re doing a good enough job sharing with people the life-giving message of the Gospel. I’m upset.

    John, you are the man, you can do anything. Without your posts my life is incomplete.

    horray for you man.

    lol

    Amazing how cheesy self help or self hypnosis can be.

    I wonder if there is a good parody idea to completely mock this video. No wait – it is self mocking,

    hehehehe

      I sensed that you were a stronger person. But maybe that's the breakfast burrito talking?

    Why pay $24.95 when you can go to half the churches in America and hear the same message?

    Hooray for you! Another Hedonistic/Humanistic approach toward man finding his own value in his depravity. But if we are not reaching people this stuff is on TV for them to find. This is why we need the online evangelism resources.I saw yesterday that the #of adults online quadrupled The Pew Report http://tinyurl.com/9lt99rfrom 8%in 2005 to 35%.
