Jonathan Acuff is just TOOOO funny. If I could recommend a blog for its combination of humor, wit, wisdom, Christian content and insight "Stuff Christians Like" would be it. In today's blog he writes about the Obligatory "LOST" Sermon. In other words he is addressing the issue of using pop culture to reach the culture. It may be hard to grasp his take on whether this is good or not, but regardless it will get you thinking and laughing--which is what he wants you to do.Here is the lead, but you'll have to go to his blog (by clicking here) to get the whole skinny:
"There are two things you have to preach on each Spring, Easter and the television show Lost. If you skip the second one, I understand, not every church puts such a high premium on television and the what not. If you skip the first one, I hope you don’t get stuck on a fold out couch bed in hell. You know the one, with that bar in the middle of your back that just angrily jabs at you all night like a three year old with a whiffle ball bat? I promise you, hell is lousy with those things.
"But maybe you were unaware of the need to experience an obligatory Lost sermon. Maybe you didn’t even know that was an option. And with the show in its final season, you’re lost as it were with how to properly judge the quality of a Lost sermon. It’s almost as if you need a Lost sermon scorecard..."
