Z: NOTES
Z: NOTES 09/22/2003 As you know, Trish and I are headed through Oklahoma on our way to Hot Springs, Arkansas to fellowship and worship the Lord, then onto Fayetteville, where I will be appearing on the air on Frank Whalen's show (KXNA) on Friday, and then the station is sponsoring a booksigning, where I will also be able to meet and talk (or pray with, or minister to) those who are led there. We're on the road as of today. Please pray for a safe journey as we cross the plains. I will be posting and communicating with you from the road via laptop, and telephone line. We had planned to go then up to Kansas City, but this won't be possible due to a prior commitment that I had forgotten about. My hope is that those folks will come to Fayetteville on Saturday. Some of you had written me about my comments on mainstream talk radio, particularly the Coast to Coast show. Let me put this to rest. I only use that show as an example of mainstream culture today. Some of the topics I find reprehensible, like witchcraft, alien disinfo, apostate views on exorcism, anti-Christian views, etc. And some of the mainstream Christians aid to this folly, rather than proclaiming the Word of God and Jesus Christ as Lord. I had no problem with the hosts, but did feel somewhat 'handled' by them. I couldn't say all I wanted to. But I did get away with quite a lot, compared to those I heard before me--all praise be to God...many of are here and at the Lamb Cafe due to the show, so the Lord was in it, and we see how He uses all things for good. That aside, I look at C2C as any other media outlet, whether Rush Limbaugh, CNN, Fox News, etc. The cultural morass is growing...and sometimes I get frustrated with how good the mind control is. Other days, like today, I just let it go... the Word of God comforts me about this. Meanwhile, we're headed to do a show where I can speak, pray, preach, whatever...where cutting edge views are not only tolerated, but promoted! (it's kind of an inside joke that what we do is 'radical' or 'cutting edge'--laughing). Perhaps we are part of a trend, a wave that will eventually permeate the mainstream. This would be a good thing. Be back in touch this afternoon...Our love to you all too! Godspeed. -zed |
