Re: STARTLING! LARRY BOOKER'S Latest Message!!!(wa
Jeff,
All I can say is Wow! I can't elaborate even close to what you have, all I will say is that loving the World to me is much more than watching a TV. We have all sinned the last time I read the Bible, and true to form we slip up daily.
Having said that, that does not give us the right or license to live in sin and love this World, its agenda, or flow, but certainly there are parts of life that are just simply a part of being a human. We can "Super Spiritualize" alot of stuff and walk smuggly through life with our head in the sand, or we can be a functional and informed part of society beyond the four walls of a church or organization.
Some things have been defined as wrong and sin for so long that some folks never question them or their validity, that fine, for them, but as for me, I want to study and really know what is truly right and wrong.
We all have opinions and that is our rindividual right. So, in my opinion there needs to be more to life then how many services you attend, what programs are going on at the church, the latest fundraiser or District conference. I prefer a balance, although that is ceretainly hard to find. I used to attend a church that used to hand out cards that said "Hope for the Home" when door knocking ect., the ironic thing was that most of the staff at the church (including me), did not have a home life to speak of, we needed hope for our own homes and we were peddling this card saying "we have the answer" - sure..o.k.
All I'm saying is that is is certainly good and bad in all forms of media..it is obsurd to make a broad brush statement about TV and leave all the rest alone...it's called common sense. And we should be able to play horseshoes and even (gasp) a card game with family and friends and not feel condemned. And if you watch a movie that has a love scene, there are ways around watching it, and surely there is a difference between seeing something you may not agree with and fantasizing about it.
