I do believe people can be reached with television preaching. Israel has allowed daystar to broadcast the gospel in their country. Paul said I become all things to all men to win some. I think The Lord is big enough to handle the negative of tv for the good it can bring to the searching souls. When I was a child and saw "The Ten Commandments" for the first time ; my soul was seared with hearing the words of God to Moses. thank God for that movie, it changed me. Let God use every way possible to reach anyone who is seeking. Dont put a lid on God.

I drive folks home after church. I drive by a lot of dark churches Sunday night. I am very convinced it is tv that wins over Sunday night worship.

I don't know if it is true or not but a long time ago I read someone who stated that the popularity of Gunsmoke on TV on Sunday nights had killed Sunday night services in America. That would have been during the sixties I believe. Of course now with DVR's there is no need to miss anything to watch a TV show - you just record it on the hard drive.

Must have been a Freudian slip!
BTW - It is my personal theory that the invention of TV remote controls probably killed Sunday night service. Aggravated men were searching for it after the wife and kids used it earlier in the day and lost track of time and missed Sunday night service.

Re: Finally a good UPC letter: By Bro Pitman
I dont get it... I grew up in a ultra-con church, and till this day they are very strict. just a few years ago they allowed the internet. my former church is so strict, my pastor pulled out of the UPC last year due to Res. 4. I asked him a while back if he was going to join another organization, i asked about WPF and he said they were too liberal for him, because they broadcast on the net. I just talked to a friend who attends this church.. tonight he is watching a MMA fight, paperview on the internet. he is having a huge party, and using his 52 inch as a monitor... what is the difference, they look at the UPC and say were going down hill...
