“You have to have some larceny in your heart to do this job,”
the sales manager told me. I just couldn’t bring myself to sell cars if I had
to be dishonest to do so. I have always despised dishonest salesmen. The sale
is the end game. I know I cannot trust a salesman completely.
I did have a fun time with one, though. I was looking at a 75
or so Ford Granada. I noticed something odd so I asked the salesman, “Has this
car ever been wrecked?”
“Oh, no. I can personally vouch for this car because I know
the owner.”
“Never been wrecked?”
“No sir.”
“Then how come it says ‘Granada’ on this side and ‘Monarch’
on the other side?” I asked as I pointed to the nameplates. He turned and
walked back into his office without another word.
I could tell he was not as honest as he wanted me to believe
because I caught him in a lie.
Every four years we have a new batch of presidential
candidates. Most of which are lawyers that went into politics. This time we
have a doctor and a business man running for office. The doctor doesn’t bother
me much, but the business man is really a salesman. He has no qualms about
saying so either.
I truly have trouble with a salesman as President. He has
already shown that his words don’t match his actions. His end came is to sell
himself, no matter what it takes.
Am I someone just trying to sell myself to everyone I meet?
Or can they simply draw the conclusion that I am a Christian by my actions. My
works are merely a display of my faith.
“Even so faith, if it
hath not works, is dead, being alone. Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and
I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my
faith by my works.” James 2:17-18.
