Do churches have anything to say?

One wonders today, if modern churches have anything to say on real life. When modern liberal churches speak, they do get press in the Times, LA and NY. But, there are very very few programs on TV which deal with Judeo-Christian issues on world events. Some used to appear on TBN but now have been pulled: don't want to offend those Muslims, don't you know! Our church has two local public access TV programs; one on Wed. eve. and one on Fri. eve. Two very different venues and points to be made. Both Christian; both very serious but very different. My program on Wed. eve. is about analysing world affairs from a Judeo-Christian Worldview. The one Fri. eve. is from our Sun. sermons from my partner, Pastor D. We do not know if anyone watches them. But, they have a purpose. Mine is obviously to get people interested in living out their Christian , Jewish, believing lives in all parts of their lives, cultural, political, economic et cet. Pastor D's view and presentation is to present the encouraging hope and salvation of Jesus Christ's Gospel. We both want people's lives changed by the Lord. We both want people to live out their personal lives practically and impact their whole life not just their spiritual life. Being a Christian is not segmented into a pure, holy , little pew sitter in church just on Sunday. It is living out the great adventure of life with God facing an often hostile society. How we live out that life means all the difference in the world when impacting our America or any other locale we touch.
