Christian Faith

Do you know anyone you would say is a compulsive witnesser? Someone who quite simply takes every opportunity they have to share the gospel? I don't (including myself).

So, why not? Surely if we truly believed we were living in the final moments of earth's history we would not be so preoccupied with what people thought of us nor how they would react to our evangelistic efforts.

You have had an abortion.

You believed that in the circumstances it was the best thing. They told you that it was just a bunch of cells in your body. They never used the word 'baby' - it was the 'product of conception', a 'foetus', or even just 'body tissue' or a 'blob'. You were not counselled; you were shovelled along in a predetermined direction. It had more to do with sales techniques than with counselling.

The success of the movie Avatar has brought the whole idea of 3D back into focus (if you will excuse the pun). It’s a far cry from the pathetic 3D we were offered decades ago. It’s as though the whole 3D industry shut up shop until James Cameron (Avatar Director) could actually make it work.

And make it work he did. Avatar has become the biggest grossing movie of all time. Now the television industry has decided it’s time it went full time 3D.

It seems we are on the cusp of another technological era. The question is will we, as Christians, label this an evil which will distract people from the truth or will we see it as an opportunity for evangelism?

Have you ever wondered why we think some things are good and some things bad?  Why, for example, is it wrong to steal from the poor?  Why is it right to give to the poor?  How do we decide what is ethically ok or not ok?
