Television has placed us in a TRIAL. We are in a TEST in regards to carnality and spirituality. So, I don't think Television is the issue after all. But rather it seems to be an issue of carnality and spirituality. Television seems to be the object or focal point that has brought forth this spiritual test that we are FAILING. We are getting a big fat "F" on our spiritual report card.

The pentecostal church's biggest problem is people who think they have arrived when they are no more than dead dry bones.

The single biggest problem with the church today is......
people. 
BTW, they are also the single biggest thing that is right with the church today.

If there are no people, there is no church. If people are living off 50 year old experiences, than there is a dead church.

Hmmm.....I am living off of an experience that is at least 2000 years old. Doesn't feel dead to me.

You didn't personally experience that 2000 years ago. I would guess in the past few weeks, you refamiliarized yourself with that experience. I don't think you've went 50 years without getting your tank refilled...

Concerned about the standards the guy in the next town is teaching. Freting about what some "big name" preacher is doing. Upset over who is preaching some camp in another district. Wondering if the revival 2000 miles away is genuine. On and on it goes.
Wouldn't it be nice if everyone just took that same energy and kept their own vineyard and kept their big nose out of everybody elses? Honestly, if the Org. dissappeared tomorrow, I don't think I would even notice for a month (or until I didn't get my bill). Are we the only ones who are more concerned for our local vineyard than what is happening in another district? Are these all just preachers with too much time to kill and too little to do?
Thanks for letting me vent.
Oh, and about Tampa and the TV resolution:
I DON'T REALLY CARE ONE WAY OR THE OTHER.

I feel that the biggest problem in Pentecost is people. If we could just fiqure out a way to get the people out of this and get God into it, we would see revival.

If you got all the people out of it there'd be nothing to revive!
