A PSA is short for Public Service Announcement. Whether organizations are motivated by personal convictions, political correctness or remorse, PSA’s have become a common vehicle to communicate messages. In view of players involved in domestic violence cases, the National Football League has created a recent commercial using stars to stop this assault on women.
Unfortunately, PSA’s often assume 2 things. First, listening to this ad will result in stopping this behavior. Second, if you follow the advice provided, together you can eliminate it from society. This mindset is flawed, not taking the sinful nature into consideration. Thus, sarcasm leads me to think to myself, “that will solve the problem, not!”
From my experience as a parent, teacher and worker, no one wants to be told what to do. Sure, as a leader, you have to set the expectations you want others to adhere to. Nonetheless, hearts have to change before the culture becomes transformed from violence to good Samaritans. Unless individuals become born again, John 3:3-5, the world will remain hampered by the stains of sin.
