Pray for Celebrity Umph for the Gospel–God Needs all the Help He can Get?

Ok,

maybe I am being too cynical–maybe not. Why (oh why) do Christians think star power is so important? Why are we so enamored with celebrity? Why are we so convinced the Spirit cannot move on hearts with the simple message of the Good News?

Is it wrong to pray for people to come to Christ? Of course not! But this seems so misguided, and so man-centered…

Go Here…

URGENT!!!! Did you hear????

I am amazed  often we Christians are misled and lacking in discernment. Specifically, I am addressing how this shows itself in the continual and rapid spread of so many false stories from Christians.

Does anyone remember how often we heard the Janet Reno “Christians are cultists” fabrication?

Crisis? What Crisis?

Hi!

I am not foolish enough to say there is no financial crisis. But, as I look at this video,  I am reminded that the true crisis is not that our freedoms are being taken away, or that our individual and national finances are in trouble.

Sadly, this video, though humorous in some sense, is a snapshot of the spiritual crisis we face.

Another blatant plagiarism… :) but definitely worth seeing.

Penn Jillette, other than being a magician, and entertainer (and by the way, one who flies WELL beyond the sound barrier of decency and propriety, IMO) is a vocal, avowed atheist. This clip of him is fascinating to me because it rebukes me of my gospel timidity.

Challenging Ideas, not Attacking People

Christians should expect our thinking to be increasingly challenged by the group-think of our age. Our holding to the body of biblical truth, and to an orthodox interpretation of those truths, will inevitably pit us against much of the thinking of the general populace. Sound familiar? I would hazard a guess that you, as a Christian reading this, are already nodding your head like a Justin Verlander bobblehead.
