Podcast #15: Sniping for Christ?
12 November 2007 8:05 PM | 7 CommentsThese days, churches use all sorts of things to aid in evangelism. Movie nights, Super-bowl parties, and yes, even Halo 3. Recently Owen Strachan posted on his blog about this growing video-game evangelism trend. We liked what he had to say so much, we thought we'd have him on the show to talk about it.

The Revolution Will Have to Call You Back
09 November 2007 6:18 PM | No CommentsDavid blogged recently about the iPhone, examining what Christians should think of such a device. One observation: "…it has the potential to become a god. Lining up to buy the iPhone may just suggest the worship of materialism that is rampant in our country. It may suggest the reign of Mamon on our “Christian” continent. Beyond the foundational issue of idolatry is the issue of responsibility. How many people will fork over the hundreds of dollars required to buy this phone, and the thousands it will cost to keep it running every year, and will fail to live up to their other duties? Such scenes remind me of the Apostle Paul’s words, 'all things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful.'"

Russell Moore is clearly using a different meaning of conservative than is usually meant when people say Fox News is conservative. While Moore is using the term in a moral sense (to support a morality that we thing of as being the old morality), everyone else is using the term—with respect to Fox News—in a political sense (for Fox supports a right-ish political agenda—one that has somehow picked up the descriptor, conservative).
So Moore’s either being naive or he’s equivocating. Either way, he’s getting coal in his stocking this year.

Unfortunately, many Christians view Fox as conservative in both senses.
Get outta town, really? What a crazy world!
