Why did I ever swear off of Christian TV?

I've been studying and writing papers for class quite a bit lately, but I've a lot of content saved up. So, get read for a blog burst in the next few days! I thought I'd share a video sent to my by one of our youth workers here at Shoreline. After you watch this, you might be able to explain to me why I haven't watched Christian TV stations for years. :-) Enjoy!

Homecoming 2010: Shoreline Invite Sunday

Our church is trying to tap into the creativity of our congregation. We've got a contest going to see who can come up with the most creative homemade video that will get others to come to church. Here's an example that our creative people came up with:

I just found this little promo and wanted to post it here.

How I misjudged Joyce Meyer

I'm pretty skeptical of televangelists and politicians. When I found out that Joyce Meyer was going to be speaking at the INTEGRITY Leadership Ministries conference I was a little confused, but I also have a bigger distrust of the media. I thought I'd just listen to her for myself and I was not prepared for what she had to say.

She gave a passionate call to action in the area of social justice. She encouraged local churches to address the CAUSES of poverty, slavery, and the sex trade (human trafficking).

I was prepared for her informal style and some nuggets of wisdom from her many years in the ministry. I didn't think I'd be challenged and moved to act.

I am a fan now...not an uncritical one though. In the future, I will not be as quick to offer my opinions.
