I believe we need to communicate the gospel and truth to our culture with any means available to us.
We can teach responsible use of technology without banning it because it is an important platform of communication.

It’s too late. Shoulda took the market before TBN spread.

Total sarcasm warning!!!!!!

So Benny and the Je......I mean Hinn, and his concub.....I mean wife.....I ...uh ....Tammy Facke...uh makeup queen...um....are not great examples of Christian living. I mean c'mon, they even air conditioned the dogs house. How much more can you care for your fellow creatures. Prayer cloths annointed with oil and Benny sweat, ...fir only $20 a pop, why they could barely clear costs at that rate. Musta bin sum kinda prosperity in that doctrine yo?

The problem is "we" have allowed our teaching to be infected with secular ideology, so the message "we" have is just humanism wrapped in Christianese. (By "we" I mean oneness pentecostalism in general. There are exceptions, but a random perusal of oneness pentecostal church websites and ministry websites will reveal that a large number, if not a majority, are peddling humanistic ideologies as "the gospel". And, of course, this true of practically every sect of American Christendom.)

So, there isn't any point, really, to "reaching the masses with our message" until we actually have a Message worth distributing.

Just opt-in to the NSA Controlled-Results Search Engine (aka "google") and look around.

Most the real Apostolic churches don't hardly have any info on their website, just what they believe location phone number, and church times. So whoever "they" are you are talking about, they don't really count. "They" maybe the majority even, but "they" still aren't the whole movement! If you believe that way you might as well be drunk and high, and just give up because that sounds like good old fashioned giving up to me.. LOL Nothing personal Brother but it does.

It's not giving up, it's just being realistic. We need to get away from pop psychology messages on "Five Ways To Feel Better About Your Vain Life" and the attitude that we're just hanging in there till we die while the world around us goes to pot. Too much trying to cater to mass appeal. Time to get Kingdom minded and be salt and light to a desperate generation.

Not saying everyone's toast, just saying we're too rich and increased with goods, generally speaking.
