I'm not a fan. Don't ask why. I'm not even a causal watcher. But the last two weeks I have caught American Idol Gives Back on Wednesday nights. They actually have a full choir and "worship tunes" with megastars. It seems that they even take an offering. Actually listening to Shout to the Lord right now! Many mixed emotions here. Great songs, great message, great cause great theology.....except that the rest of messages they 'preach'. I hope that the message of the Gospel sticks and the message of dualistic lifestyle doesn't. However, if history means much, the dichotomy will win out. Jesus and blank you in the same show within two minutes, that's the message this world is preaching. It seems that everyone wants in on the power and mobilization of the message of love and giving. However, this hybrid message of Jesus and everything else will lead to death. This should challenge the church to know that we are not cutting it. We need re-evaluate how we are communicating and reaching out. The church must rise up and offer the pure Gospel without dumbing it down, reach the world and make a difference.
oh well, my thoughts.
