Lame Christian Media is Culpable for Our Cultural Corruption

What was the biggest suprise of Election Day?



If our nation goes down the secular crapper, then I lay a lot of the blame on the limp-wrist Christian media. Yep, I condemn Christian TV, Christian radio stations and Christian publishers that have the power and the audience to pump truth to the masses but have instead chosen to peddle spiritual candy rather than the unvarnished verities that the church and our nation need.

As far as I’m concerned, if Christians don’t speak, sing or write to the serious issues of their day then they’re about as useful to us and to God as teats on a boar hog.

Pathetic.

Aside from Dobson and his crew at Focus and a smattering of other luminaries, you don’t hear many of the overt Christian writers or talking heads speaking even mildly to the sassy secularists who are hell-bent on wrecking this land.

What’s the matter, ladies? Are you afraid you’ll lose your love offerings, your BMWs, or your 501(c)(3)? It’s unbelievable to me how these “Christian” corporations can be silent, for whatever reason, in this raging cultural war. You, sir/ma’am, are a disgrace to your post. Good luck at the judgment seat.

Y’know, I appreciate O’Reilly, Hannity, Beck and others who go to bat on behalf of Christian principles, but it would be kind of nice to see some more pastors in that mix also. Ted Nugent brings more truth to the table than most pastors and priests do on radio, TV and in print.

Again, I’m glad for Bill, Sean, Glenn and Ted’s defiant input, but the insane silence amongst the brethren, especially the boys who run the so called mega-churches, to me is both pitiful and immoral. No matter how you want to slice your silence, Christian ministers and corporations, your mute mouth is cowardice of the highest order and a betrayal of our nation’s Christian heritage. Continued...

Adventures in missing the point
You make one fundamental assumptive error in your article...that Christian media is actually reaching the non-christian audience. Not so my friend. Even if "they" did start directing their words to "them" it wouldn't reach. "They" aren't listening anymore.

it's time to re-think faith-based media.

"End-Time Politics?"
McCain is no match for the Anti-Christ.If you haven't already seen my posts about this,I'll be brief and let you search more in depth for yourself.Barack Obama and Bill Ayers owe their inspiration for "Community Organizing" to a man named Saul Alinsky,who wrote the "Rules for Radicals" that is a blueprint for the way they've run their campaign,their agenda,etc...The disturbing fact is,the book is dedicated to LUCIFER. Add that to world events lining up exactly how Biblical prophecy said it would, there's no wonder Obama has risen the way he has. I will come back to this post soon with other things I feel led by God to share,at the risk of sounding crazy,or worse!I'm not advocating what you should do or think,but it helps to see all the angles and decide for yourself.Thanks for listening.
