Halo 3 and the Gospel

The New York Times published an article about churches that are using Halo 3 as an outreach tool.

Churches should be cautious in the use of games with an "M" rating (such as Halo 3) for outreach. Where is the line drawn? Will churches show "R" rated movies for outreach? Will churches use curse words in sermons for outreach?

Another issue here is pastors allowing students to play games that their parents may not allow them to play at home. This can create serious issues in any student ministry.

I caution all youth pastors to think through this issue.

Newsboys - Go Tour

Last night I attended the Newsboys' "Go" tour. In short, these guys are the real deal. I have been listening to the Newsboys since I was in middle school. The concert last night was a tremendous display of talent, technology, and fun. The Newsboys are all about solid entertainment that brings glory to God. If you get a chance, I highly recommend that you attend this tour.
