But I can make guys win. In the NFL, as in life, content is more valuable than form . On a news clip on TV I recently heard a district manager of a chain of well-known retail stores talking about his company's success in low income areas. He made an interesting observation. Managers of the stores he oversees are rewarded financially for outstanding sales performance.
People have a tendency to value form over content.
Most real estate professionals will tell you that on a percentage basis, a new coat of paint will increase a home's selling price far more than new plumbing will. This is a trap we must refuse to be caught in. In the Old Testament, we are reminded that God's priorities are different than ours. The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. Man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.
