People have always loved a good story. Paul knew that and warned the Christian community that people would turn away and start listening to legends or stories. A man named James Moran knew it too. He was the master of the publicity stunt, a dying art in the advertising game. He once searched for a needle in a haystack for 10 days to publicize a piece of real estate. In 1946, he sat on an ostrich egg for 19 days, four hours and 32 minutes to publicize a book called The Egg and I. And in perhaps his most outlandish publicity stunt, Mr. Moran opened an "embassy" in Washington for a mythical country to publicize a 1959 movie called The Mouse That Roared, also about a make-believe country. James Moran was a master at getting publicity, attracting attention and creating "legends."
Paul reminds us to ride through those times when people get distracted by stunts and teachers who tell people what they want to hear. "Endure," says Paul, "and perform your duty as a servant of God."
