Chick-fl-A Not The Only One, Olympic Medal Count

Preview for Sunday 080512

I figured while you are at it, protesting Chick-fl-A, you may want to protest some more Companies out there that have strong moral beliefs. You see, Chick-fl-A is not the only one. Some even prints Bible verses on the

bottom of the bag. My Niece, who is really not convinced about God, LOVES one of these Companies. You may too.

 Hey folks,

Happy Sunday to ya. Welcome to the Big, and this week, we are fully loaded Big, Sunday Edition of the OPNTalk2 Blog. Glad you made it. Hope you are having a great weekend. Here is the latest Olympic Medal count....

Chick-fl-A Will Be Just Fine, But lesson To Be Learned

IWA For Sunday 080512

As you can see, we are fully loaded and ready to go today. First. Chick-fl-A. There are some things I want to talk about. More on Chick-fl-A in a few. There are some lessons to be learned here. But if you do not like the company, because you disagree with their Owners views, you might want to rethink patronizing some others. I have asked people this question. "What does the CEO, President, Owner, whatever, of other companies you may frequent believe? Do you care?" You see I don't. I don't agree with most Hollywood Actors on their political or religious beliefs. I still watch their movies. Why? I don't care. They entertain me. I don't care what they think.

However, it seems some of you do. So I figured I would help you out a bit here. Did you know?

Forever 21: Forever 21 is a clothing store that was founded by Don and Jin Chang, devout Christians who moved to America from Korea in 1981. The small store they opened in Los Angeles in 1984 has grown into a mass business comprised of hundreds of locations across the globe.

On the bottom of each bag, shoppers will find “John 3:16,” the popular Bible verse that reads, “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

REALLY??? I guess you can't shop there anymore. Who knew? You are going to love this one.. What about????

Interstate Battery: Norm Miller, chairman of Interstate Batteries, a company that sells — you guessed it, batteries — is also a believer who discusses his faith and salvation publicly. In fact, he even takes to the company’s web site to invite customers and visitors to write to him for prayer advice.

“Norm Miller is also a believer in God’s power to change lives, because it was that power that turned his own life around after years of drinking as hard as he worked,” reads Miller’s personal testimony on Interstate Batteries’ web site.

But, the company goes well beyond merely mentioning God. Miller encourages everyone to accept Jesus Christ as personal savior — a central tenet of the Christian faith. Here’s more from the site:

You can accept Him right now, just like I did, by repeating this prayer and making it the commitment of your heart. Just pray…

“Dear God, I want freedom from the slavery of my sin. I believe Jesus is the Truth, and I accept Him now as my Lord and Savior. I ask you for forgiveness of my sins, because He paid for them for me. Please give me the power to live a life pleasing to You. Thank you for this gift of new and eternal life in Christ! In Jesus’ name, Amen!”

If you prayed this prayer, I’d like to send you some additional information that will help you grow in your understanding of Christianity and in your faith in God. Write to: Norm Miller, “Growth,” 12770 Merit Dr. Suite 1000, Dallas, Texas 75251.

WOW! I really had no idea. Good for you Norm. I have bought Interstate Batteries in the past. I may buy exclusively Interstate Batteries from now on. I had no idea I would be supporting a MINISTRY. How about this one?

Tyson Foods: Tyson, yet another company that refuses to hide its faith, offers employees chaplain services at plants across America. If people are saddened after the loss of a loved one or coping with a family emergency, these individuals are brought in to pray and assist those in need with coping.

John H. Tyson, the current chairman of the company, is a born-again Christian who believes his values shouldn‘t be pushed to the side when he enters Tyson’s doors.

“My faith is just an ongoing evolution, trying to understand what faith in the marketplace looks like, giving people permission to live their faith seven days a week,” Tyson said back in 2010. “If people can talk about the football game on Monday, why can’t they talk about their faith?”

Tyson Foods is also known for donating mass amounts of food to America’s poor.

Those evil bastards!!! They pray for their employees? They allow them to talk about GOD!?!? In the work place?!?!? They donate food to the poor. I bet they believe in the Biblical definition of Marriage. Just saying. How about this one?

In-N-Out Burger: Much like Forever 21, In-N-Out Burger, a fast-food chain based in California, uses John 3:16 as a way to advertise its faith. In fact, the company places the popular verse on the bottom of cups. Here’s what 11Alive.com reports about the popular business:

Western U.S. burger chain In-N-Out has printed citations of Bible passages on cups, wrappers and other pieces of packaging since at least the late 1980s. For instance, “John 3:16″ appears on the bottom of soft drink cups, a reference to the Bible passage…

One more?

Hobby Lobby: Last, but not least, is Hobby Lobby, an Oklahoma City-based crafts store chain that very-openly embraces Christianity. Like Chick-fil-A, the company closes its more than 500 stories on Sundays and vocally mentions God on its web site. Here are just a few of the proclamations presented Hobby Lobby’s statement of purpose:

Honoring the Lord in all we do by operating the company in a manner consistent with Biblical principles. [...]

Providing a return on the owners’ investment, sharing the Lord’s blessings with our employees, and investing in our community.

We believe that it is by God’s grace and provision that Hobby Lobby has endured. He has been faithful in the past, we trust Him for our future.

There ya go folks. If you get tired of protesting Chick-fl-A, there are some more business for ya. You can kiss in many different locations. Don't like Chicken, go get a Burger. Right before you go shopping. Or, you can be like most people and just shop where you want, eat where you want, and live how you want. I base my shopping and dinning needs on the PRODUCT. If they have a great product or service, I will go there, deal with them, whatever. If not, I won't. I do not care if Jesus Himself opened a store selling Cow dung. I would not be patronizing it. Just saying.

Going to fill my cup, be right back!
Peter
