The local print newspaper is
promoting it’s annual “Vote for the Best of the Best 2017.” Readers are to vote
for the best restaurant, the best dry cleaners, the best insurance company, etc.
The contest appears somewhat slanted because the newspaper gives you the list
of candidates to choose from; however, that’s not to say they would reject your
entry if you submitted a name that wasn’t on their list. One of the categories
is for the best church and in order to win the title a church membership simply
needs to vote for themselves. I can imagine God doing an eye roll. Paul said, “We
do not dare to classify or compare ourselves with some who commend themselves.
When they measure themselves by themselves and compare themselves with
themselves, they are not wise” (2 Cor 10:12 NIV).
