Are you serious?

I heard of this real company, 1and3 Trinity, that makes a “Christian” energy drink that as the drink’s can says is “Fused with Fruit of the Spirit.” Has Christian marking really gone so far where it has its own over priced energy drinks? I have seen the “Testa-Mints” at the local Christian Bookstore but an energy drink that uses Scripture referring to “walking in step” with the Spirit of God as a marketing tool – seriously folks?

“But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control…” (Galatians 5:22-23a, NIV)

Something in it doesn’t sit well with me and to borrow a phrase from my friend Mike…this can’t be normal, can it?

  1. You will receive a bill for using the term “normal”. My lawyers will be contacting you.

    But I agree…it isn’t normal. It’s stupid. Test-a-mints on the other hand are…I can’t find a word to adequately describe their greatness.

  2. Blaine here… The younger generations have been brought up on marketing systems their entire life. The flashy sayings and colorful though not necessarily truthful depictions of what a product may bring. Unfortunately they almost have come to the point of needing the cool factor to use the product. Has anyone researched where the profits are going? If it is going to further gods kingdom than it may be a powerful tool.. But if not then no it isn’t right. Imagine if Coke supplied even 1% of its profits to further gods kingdom imagine what could happen not to say god needs the money. Beat me if I’m wrong!!!
