MASS MEDIA INFO AND MISINFO

Ed Stetzer, in writing a CHRISTIANITY TODAY article yesterday, August 29, 2017 entitled, ‘Some People hate Joel Osteen More Than They Love Truth,' cautions Christians against hating Joel Osteen so much that they misrepresent his Lakewood church decision not to use the immense facility in Houston to shelter people affected by the ongoing flooding. Apparently the church itself is in a flood zone. My purpose here is to reference Stetzer’s advice about handling real and fake news.

REAL MIRACLES - SENSIBLY PRICED

Comedian Steve Martin starred in a movie called ‘Leap of Faith,’ a spoof on faith healers in which a promotional display advertises his faith healing service with the slogan, ‘Real Miracles – Sensibly Priced.” It could really be humorous if it were not so accurate. (from my new book, GOD IN THE OPEN,’ come these following remarks.

“See to it that no one takes you captive through hollow and deceptive philosophy, which depends on human tradition and the elemental spiritual forces of this world rather than on Christ.” (Colossians 2:8)
