Harry Potter Show Feedback

Last TV Show (Harry Potter)
corruption
Acts 17:23
(Apostle Paul talking)

For as I walked around and looked carefully at your objects of worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO AN UNKNOWN GOD. Now what you worship as something unknown I am going to proclaim to you.





The last show is now available as a free internet broadcast:

This is the description on the webcast site:

The "Harry Potter" Parable
Sunday, October 23, 2005
Jesus taught in parables all the time. Literally, they mean nothing. Figuratively, they have deep spiritual meaning. In the same way, there are many other parables in life pointing to the gospel and other kingdom elements. Author Connie Neal explains the "Harry Potter Parable" and how to lead others to Christ with it. Info on Connie and her books are here: www.connieneal.com .
Acts 17:23


On the show last Wed. 10-19-05, I talked with Connie Neal about some of her books regarding Harry Potter. She talked about the dangers of witchcraft, and how to use the "Harry Potter" series to lead fans of Harry Potter to Christ. This is similar to the Apostle Paul explaining the "unknown God" to pagans in Acts 17. More info about Connie and her books are here: http://connieneal.com/ .

You can also get some tracts (Harry Potter and other) for Halloween here:

Here's the schedule for the repeat of this TV show, for those with cable in Portland's Washington County, on Channel 21:

  • Friday, October 21, 2005 3:00 PM - 4:00 PM
  • Sunday, October 23, 2005 10:00 AM - 11:00 AM
  • Monday, October 24, 2005 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM
  • Tuesday, October 25, 2005 8:00 AM - 9:00 AM

    I think the show went really good. I shared a lot of scripture about how to adapt the gospel and make it relevant to different cultures (Acts 17 "Mars Hill" discourse). I enjoyed studying this passage in depth to share some insights. I used the free e-sword Bible research tools (mentioned below). All the bible versions and commentaries were very helpful. If you haven't yet downloaded it, I urge you to... it's awesome! ... and FREE!
