Bro. Mangun is for TV

[Felicity]

Television already has and continues to have an insidious and steady negative influence on the minds and hearts of people wearing away moral and spiritual values and consecration.

Might as well use what has helped and aided the moral decay of several generations now to help and aid the winning and recovery of lost souls ........ and for the spreading of Truth and Gospel. Television is already in the Church anyhow. Probably the majority of homes in the apostolic movement such as it is anymore have one or more.

The root of whatever problems might come as a result of pastors .... (and I still doubt very many will actually take advantage of the medium to any great extent anyhow) .... getting involved in TV ministry is already in the Church ..... namely pride and arrogance.

As I've stated numerous times I do NOT believe television is the answer to world evangelism or the most effective way to do the work of evangelism either or to get the truth of the Gospel to people but it is ONE way and since it's already here, part of the church and woven into the fabric of our culture and a "fact" of life then might as well use it if a person feels led to do so as a method of dispersing salt and light into a dark dreadful world that is getting only darker and dreadfuller by the day.

As Paul said....... the method or the means or the "who" is not the most important thing. Most important is that the Gospel is preached!!

TV ministry is a different and difficult avenue, and I doubt that many OPs are anywhere near equipped to handle it. So much current Christian programming is missing the mark in my opinion. It is not preaching to the choir, so you better know it is God leading before taking the plunge.
