Webcast, playing next week (starting Sunday 7/24/05):
I talk about some current media ministers, and how some of them are good and bad examples of being stewards for God. While there are a few wayward media ministers, there are some positive examples and excellent role-models, such as James Dobson of "Focus on the Family."

Last TV show, Feedback:
I talked with Ben Clifton, a fellow believer, and leader of a Portland chapter of RTB (http://www.reasons.org/chapters/portland/index.shtml). He grew up thinking "religion is stupid." Evolution & science gave him answers to the wonders of the universe. Then he became a believer, and now he sees God in His creation. Same creation, but two different ways to view it.

Is religion stupid? Yes and no. Yes, in that religion (works to impress God), good works, and philosophy is worthless for dealing with our sin. The only solution for sin is the one God provided: Christ's death on the cross. If you're trying to earn God's love through religion or good works, then you don't understand grace, and the relationship that God wants to have with you (as a child with God the Father, and as a brother with Jesus Christ). This is why we don't push "religion," but rather a "relationship" with God. As you read the Old Testament, this is what God tried to tell us through the prophets; and in the New Testament Jesus Christ made it perfectly clear by His ministry.
