'Party to the first part will now sign on behalf of the party in the second part to ensure the rights of the party in the third part," sound like legal talk to you? When we began this series of "you don't see it yet," wonder how many of you thought about that title? Do you look at titles, or do you, consider the title, as it is, an invite to the read, and move on? When we think about how we do what we do, it does give us pause to consider the Bible, the truth that is in the Bible and how we are getting that truth out to people. One of the most prolific ways we are getting that truth out is through television, but the problem with television is the unreality of T.V. does not lend itself to the sure footed accountability of following Jesus? Billy Graham used to famously close all his crusade sessions with these words, "be sure to go to a church Sunday and let them know what you have decided here tonight," many did, perhaps you even remember watching a Billy Graham event? Those who went to the church, found that the pastor was indeed waiting for them, but today, modern shows are the church, it is no longer an evangelistic crusade to send people to a church, the church has moved into the television arena, and the question is, can it?
