I can understand the concern about television, I truly can. I don't have much use for it myself and feel like most people and most homes are better off without it for a number of reasons ...... one being the absolute filth, drivel and ungodliness that makes up most television programming ..... not to mention the fact that it absolutely is an insult to my intelligence and insults the Holy Spirit who is supposed to be Lord and Master of my life.

But the fact is that it's no longer an issue in many UP churches even with the stipulations in place and it hasn't been an issue in many churches for some time now. It's a moot issue ... a non-issue ..... for many moderate and even more conservative pastors, preachers and evangelists.

Many if not most OP churches have members in leadership positions and sitting on elder and deacon boards who have one or several TVs in their homes.

Television is here to stay like it or not. If a person can make use of it to get the message of the Gospel out then it helps to redeem the the total uselessness and banality of the majority of what comes across this particular medium.

I think that a lot of the people who are crusaders for the resolution are just caught up in the issue and don't understand totally what it really is that they're crusading for.
