Evangelicals and the Media.........

What is the fascination with the news media and the Evangelical church? NBC and Tom Brokaw did an hour special on it a few months ago. Tonight Fox News is doing almost the same story. They interviewed Ted Haggard of New Life Church in Colorado Springs, CO, Joel Osteen of Lakewood Church in Houston, TX and a spokesman from Willowcreek Church in Chicago, IL. An Evangelical is a person who shares the Good News of Jesus Christ. Both reports attack the mega-churches for their practices. New Life is a very relevant church. It is too Charismatic for my taste but I think they are reaching people for Christ. I love their "Desperation" CD's especially the song "Rescue." Joel Osteen has had his share of criticism recently especially his wife Victoria. But I do like the positive message he presents. Willowcreek and Saddleback have changed church as we know it today. I guess anytime you become successful people come after you a criticize your practices. I for one am grateful for the great things that these leaders have shared with the world. I may not agree with everything that they are doing, but as Paul said as long as Christ is preached, I rejoice!
