DC Talk's song "What If I Stumble?" from their 1995 Jesus Freak album, feature the opening lyrics Is this one for the people? Is this one for the Lord? Or do I simply serenade for things I must afford?
What has always been a temptation with the platform and with the stage is to make the person(s) bigger than the message. Today a quick websearch of "Christian Celebrity Culture" will bring up several articles and viewpoints about where we are at as a church culture with our own "celebrities" and big names. Overall, is this a bad thing? Is seeking fame wrong? And if we have influence, is it being used to point people to Christ or simply to ourselves?
Today's episode is the first in this "Stuff That's Been On My Mind" series; a series looking at some hot-button issues that need to be looked at within the lens of the Gospel.
