I have a dream....
to see on my t.v. good quality Christian programming that appeals to, dare I say it, the" post-modern emerging Christ-follower...."
My vision would include:
the Parachute Band in the background , leveling me with their greatest worship song: "All the Earth...shall declare...that your love is everywhere....." They will set the tone.....
Then, perhaps a pastor comes on the scene, perhaps he has a goatee, not that it matters... and he begins to speak, not preach, really, he's more of a teacher of the Word. He challenges me to be all that God desires for me to be, to seek His plan for my life and to put feet to motion....cool.
He's not nerdy-looking, he does not wear a suit or a sweater...he looks normal, genuine, approachable, kind...
Sometimes the programming includes an improv night where you can go to the open-mike and showcase a God-given talent, or where some talented drama folks show the lighter side of "christianity" and perform some "church-deprecating" humor....funny!
Maybe, on a special night, they will show some film on a missionary who shares with us what God has done for them.....and I'm actually moved.
On Mondays, since there is nothing elso good on t.v., they have a great talk-show with this funny guy who interviews christian recording artists or christian actors, christian anybody-who-is-interesting-and -making-a-difference.
Don't get me wrong, I like some programming out there....David Jeremiah, Hal Lindsay, although he desperately needs a better publicist who will not let him dress like that and talk that way....
I could do the job.......
Anyway, that's my vision, I think I'll call it: Cool Christianity for dummies.....
