"The POP CULTURECHALLENGE " by Darnell Fenderson Take a moment and think of 3 actors, music artists, or entertainers whose work can't stand. You think that their image is bad for society, especially the youth. Now take a moment and think of every reason why you don't like them. Okay, not every reason...lets say 5. Okay, now take a moment and let that marinate. Now estimate how long it took you to do this little activity. Now here's the big challenge: The next time you pray, take the amount of time it took you to take this challenge and pray for those individuals. Not just the next time but whenever you pray take a little time to pray for the entertainment industry. If we spent as much time praying for them as we do complaining who knows what a difference we would see in the things we see. I'm not saying everything will end up Christ like and you'll see Tom Cruise in the Passion of the Christ part 2 but I am saying it could possibly change some of the content that's being aired. Prayer is a powerful weapon anywhere,even Hollywood. However, if we don't use it, it?s powerless. Praying is like voting, if you don't do it, you really have no right to complain. God wants entertainers saved just as much as you and I. And though you may never get the chance to talk to Eminem or 50 Cent one on one and win them to Jesus, you can pray that God will send someone who can. So the next time you turn on the tube and see something or someone that rubs you the wrong way don't throw the remote at the TV. Take all of that frustrating energy and pray for that person. We pray for Uncle John and Billy Bob, and our parents and our family and friends and ask God to deliver them from their addictions but do we really take enough time to pray for the industry and the people in the industry that influence those bad habits to begin with? There was a time when TV was safe to watch and maybe if the people of God took this issue to God and prayed for him to change hearts in the industry then maybe we could go back to that time. But if we aren't making our requests known then it will continue to get worst. Remember if we aren't asking for it, the chances of receiving it are slim to none. LET'S START ASKING!! All it takes is a moment. If you are up for the challenge write us a note declaring that when you pray you will add the entertainment industry to your prayer list. |

IT'S O.K. I mean he's getting blamed for everything these days. He's the reason why we didn't come to church; or the devil made me commit murder; or it's because of the devil that I can't stop drinking til I pass out; it's the devils fault that I can't kick my drug habit. I hear... (continue reading) Return to DetroitPosted
Return to Detroit By Mr. Ryan Gaddy 16Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. (Matthew 28:16) I had always wondered why Jesus would have his disciples return to Galilee right before his ascension into Heaven. After visiting Detroit, my hometown for the first time in almost two years, I can see why. It was for them to see where it... (continue reading) my gifts |
