Burn Notice - Spys and Christians? You and Them

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burn_Notice
"Burn Notice" a highly touted and
much well received television
series starring Jeffrey Donovan,
Gabrielle Amwar, Bruce Campbell,
and Sharon Gless.  While it sounds
like sensationalism and a reach is
it possible this show can teach
Christian's something?  Does the
public image of a spy have anything
to say to modern Christian's?  If
you take it to the ultimate, this show
which has nothing to do with the
practice of religion, actually does
speak about something that does
have to do with religion, and it says
it brilliantly. 

If you cook you know too much heat under something
for too long a time can be a disaster. While that
is obvious because we call it "burnt," isn't it
amazing in modern Christian circles how we manage
to miss it? Did God intend that you should burn;
would seem not, he covered Moses so he wouldn't
burn, and yet, God does control the cooking as we
see him using coals on the mouth of the prophet?
(Isaiah 6:6)  So it is in th popular spy drama that
we see Michael Weston getting "burnt," and of
course, it's not by God, although some zealots
could possibly say; "well you know, God is in
everything..."  (Thought you'd get a kick out of
that one...)

So wrapping this post up the point is very simple-
we're gonna have to take it deeper, because there
are a ton of angles on this one...wouldn't you agree?
