Scripture & Media

This Scripture cropped up in my devotional reading today:
Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; and they shall turn away their ears from the truth and shall be turned unto fables.
-- II Tim. 4:2-4

All day Ginny & I drove around town photographing statues for a future website special. We’d planned to go to a gardening class but ran too late for it so we came home and watched tv coverage of the pope’s death.

Media does not know how to handle religion. In an hour-long special only one person said the word, “Jesus” – so what exactly was the news?
