I think thats part of KP's point .... Agape ... is not that God has missed it ...
he gave the commission ...
man uses technology to work within this commission ....
Technology can be defined as any tool or craft used by man to control or adapt to his environment. Technology is a pen ... a paper ... la road. anguage ... a space station ... a radio .... an organization .... and TV.
The 1st century Church used Greek to spread the Gospel ... and as KP said that the fact that it was a paganistic culture didn't stop Peter from using Greek.
The primitive Church used the Appian Way and Roman roads to fulfill the Great Commission ... and KP says that the fact that the Roman builder were blood thirsty heathens ... but it didn't stop Paul from using this road.

I truly believe for some of these men to go on television would be a mistake.
You're talking about a medium that is totally geared toward entertainment.
All the ministries that have hit the blue tube haven't made a dent into society. Billy Graham led the way and the sinner’s prayer and no revolution.
Jim and Tammy Faye got sucked up into the mantra of "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous" and Jimmy Swaggart allowed his high and mightiness to lead him to Baton Rouge porn shops. I'm not saying that all who fall into the media of television become lost. What I'm trying to say that it was done already and while it will make the preacher filthy rich it won't mean much for the old lady eating cat food because she just sent in her last dime to the televangelists.
ONE GOD PENTECOSTAL YOU'RE A DAY LATE. TOO LATE FOR TELEVISION.
