Does it sound like Jesus? When you have surrendered the transmitter to Christ, then He is really in charge. http://internetevangelismday.com/blog/archives/7929 2012-04-20T10:46:08-05:00 John Cleese, creative writer, actor and comedian, has produced much memorable comedy. The classic TV series Fawlty Towers (1975-9) is widely regarded as one of the best television comedies of all time. It has dated little in nearly 40 years, and is available as a remastered DVD set. So you might think Cleese could teach us something about creativity – and you'd be right. http://internetevangelismday.com/blog/archives/3532 2011-03-01T15:52:03-05:00 People have always loved stories – indeed we are hard-wired to so, and we spend a considerable portion of our leisure time in the world of story, particularly through movies/TV. Yet many people probably enjoy them without necessarily discerning areas of deeper significance within the plot. http://internetevangelismday.com/blog/archives/3076 2011-01-06T15:22:06-05:00 The BBC 4-part serial Nativity aired in the week before Christmas to wide acclaim. If it was not screened in your country, doubtless it will available on DVD before long. I am among those who often find screen retellings of Bible stories tedious: identikit long robes from some 1950s costume department, wooden acting that tries to achieve imagined other-worldly religious ambience, all mixed with an overdose of syrup and generalized schmaltz. http://reviveourhearts.com/topics/downloads/index.php?id=9525 2010-08-25T15:37:07-05:00 Fifty creative ideas to help your family have fun without the TV. http://internetevangelismday.com/blog/archives/1466 2010-08-09T16:35:18-05:00 Those living outside UK may be unaware of an extremely effective current TV advertising campaign featuring meerkats. The adverts promote insurance comparison service ComparetheMarket.com and feature meerkat ‘Aleksandr Orlov’ (supposedly a rich Russian business person) with strong Russian accent. http://gospel.com/blog/index.php/2009/11/09/this-message-brought-to-you-by-the-letter-c/ 2009-11-11T16:55:11-05:00 Do you have any favorite Sesame Street memories? Some ideas about what the church can learn from the popular children's show. http://gospel.com/blog/index.php/2009/11/02/how-do-you-determine-whats-okay-to-watch-on-television/ 2009-11-05T15:37:54-05:00 Like all technologies, television can be used for good or for evil. It can broadcast art or profanity or some mix of the two. Whether you adhere to the tv parental guidelines or some other system, we’d like to know: How do you determine what’s okay to watch on television? http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hindrances/gift-wrapped-garbage-2948 2009-10-01T15:04:00-05:00 You can just assume that the enemy is trying to wear you down right now in some area - by offering you garbage in a package that really disarms you. That's why God wants you to know who you really are. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Relationships/Poison-Protection-4874 2008-08-15T19:07:05-05:00 We allow comedy into our home and into their heart and it trivializes sin that ruins lives - not realizing that our kids are learning to laugh about things that are eternally serious. No matter what the parental peer pressure of what other parents are allowing and what the culture says is "must see" stuff, we've got to stand our ground on not allowing our kids to mentally eat out of the garbage can.
