Yes, really.

Inanities coupled with the twisting of Scripture to fit one's pre-conceived viewpoint on a particular subject matter is better reserved for the 700 Club instead of a college or university, and, likewise, doesn't deserve my time…

…especially when I'm at work

Thanks for the encouragement towards a doctorate – I'd love to, but I'm not sure it'll happen any time soon.

considering his audience I think that you are correct. We do live in the tension between using media and being controlled by it.

Honestly… what Read said about "going in person" to serve people really spoke to me. I serve in Detroit to plenty of destitute people and I fear living a "YouTube-worthy" life here and still never making a real impact. Don't misunderstand me – I own a TV, MacBook, iPod, am courting an iPhone, I blog and use Facebook/Twitter – BUT, in the end, none of these things matter to the people I'm called to reach.

We're called to GO – physically – and reach people with the love of Christ. I believe it's sinful how easily satisfied we can be with more followers, views, and comments when so many are without Christ.

That is what matters most. And if anything (media or not) knocks our attention from the Great Commission – we are wasting it.

And by the way… to those who "couldn't sit through this" – you may need to check what upsetting you so much and take it to God in prayer. As for me, this was a bit jarring – my life doesn't belong to me and I want to do my best to listen and obey the Lord Jesus and to make Him known.

Thanks for posting this John.

this might sound stupid and sarcastic but…

he said that God's Word is something that "needs to be heard" referring that that's the "only" way…well, we have deaf mute friends and some blind…they use some type of "media" foreign to me…brail for one – something that you feel with your fingers…and to the deaf – sign language – something that you use your eyes with.

i am a busy person but thanks to MEDIA

- i can "hear" God's Word in my car…at least now i can't even notice TRAFFIC – or at least divert my mind to listening hahahaha

- i can "see" God's Word at work in peoples lives

- etc.

anyway, i believe in balance – media has made our attention span run really really short but we can't just tell people "HEY, LISTEN HERE!" if we are no longer relevant to them…
