Identity Theft

One of the hottest subjects in the public and corporate sectors at the present is "identity theft". The cost to consumers is in the millions of dollars each year. Some of you may have insurance to protect you from such a scam as this. When I worked with the credit card deparment at First Security back in the mid-90's it already was a big concern, but not anywhere close to what it is today.

Mark Moore(Uganda)spoke to the High School students who came to Harding for Spring Sing this past year. He used this current situation to address a deeper crisis, which is this: "where do you get your identity?" He asked the students if they were allowing Satan or the world to perform "identity theft" in their spiritual lives. In this age of total access, our young people are being bombarded by everything from Brittany Spears to Ludicrous. Yes, that is a performer's name. Mark is a powerful communicator, and if you want to hear these talks you can call Barbara Martin in the recording center here at Harding to order the tapes. The number is 501-279-4439.

So, where do you get your identity? For me, that can be a very indicting question at times. Does my profession identify who I am......or is it my church affiliation? Or maybe it is my family. No wait, it is my country and the good ole "American Way" of life. Could it be my view of politics? I can get pretty excited about that discussion with you or anybody else.
How about which team I am a fan of? And then there is the biggie....is my income level the final straw in determining who I am?

Check these two verses out when you get the chance, and they in no way exhaust the verses that cover this topic. The first is I Corinthians 3: 19......and the second is Colossians 3:3.

As the song says, I hope I can see you thru "My Father's Eyes".
I hope to see myself thru those same eyes as well. When that happens, I won't have to wonder about my identity anymore.

Sounds like Mark did another "beyond zebra" with that lecture. KR
