Takeaways
The 'He Gets Us' commercial promotes a distorted and potentially false gospel message, endorsing societal values and sins rather than calling for repentance.
The notion that making both the left and the right upset is a measure of success is not a biblical standard and should not be used to evaluate the effectiveness of a message.
The true gospel message may challenge the values and lifestyles of both the left and the right, but it is essential to stand for the kingdom of God and proclaim the truth.
The impact of the 'He Gets Us' commercial makes it harder for Christians to stand for Christian truth in the public square, as it portrays them as haters according to the world's standards.
Proclaiming the true gospel message and sharing stories of life transformation are powerful ways to promote the cause of Christ and make an impact. Controversial videos that slander Bible-believing Christians can have a detrimental impact on their reputation.
Actions that are intended as pre-evangelism can actually make it harder to share the Gospel by creating a negative perception of Christians.
