We recently were saved over $3000 on our water heater for a $10 part. I can’t decide if that was a result of modernity or Dutch Reformed honesty. (Probably the former as one Dutch owned company wanted to take advantage of a mechanical moron while a retired Dutchman didn’t.) It is hard to argue with competition, convenience and cleanliness. Chalk another stroke in the win column for a Christian sense of bestowed time and place over against the strange notion that we must decide as believers whether to champion or eschew any given time and place.
