Please don’t view this as saying I’m right your wrong, or an attempt to defend against the issues you have problems with. I do think most of your problem is with “The Bible Answer Man Program” and probably with Hank Hanegraaff himself rather than CRI itself. I find I can make good use of the resources CRI makes available. Without some of their information I would have no way of knowing what is going on behind the scenes of many ministries. I would rather not learn about it for the first time on 20/20 or 60 Minutes, but rather through a Christian agency presenting it as problem within a ministry rather than ‘look what those crazy Christians are up to now.’ I would have no way of knowing the “rest of the story” of Toronto. Or that other people took exception to a program segment of “West Wing’ like I did. I too have had that small still voice say, “watch out”. And I know we don’t need anything but the Holy Spirit to lead us, but I sometimes find comfort learning there are others that are seeing the same problem I am while the rest of Christianity seems to be in a headlong race toward it. I agree totally that many times differences in education produces buss words that effect the listener completely opposite than the speaker ever intended. I had always believed and still hope that the investigation process that CRI seemingly attempts would eliminate those types of miscommunication. Thanks Mark for letting me know your objections to CRI, I will view their input with yet another filter. Possibly one that will reveal to me the problems you see within the organization. By the way do you have any confirmation on the problems you alluded to. I would be every interested in reading any information. Believe me brother I have no interest in picking your scab I just want to be as informed as I can be. Thanks |

Don't worry about picking my scabs, it was only a warning of what might follow (I never know what I'm going to write when I get started). I did not mention CRI in that last letter on purpose. Mine is not a complaint about CRI, but the whole world of opinion for popular consumption. The real issues of life are very close at hand. The real news of the day is happening in your sphere of influence, and I don't feel unsafe to conjecture that God is mostly talking to you about the people and events which touch you and you touch. The works of God you do benefit your neighbor, and when you lie down at night the voice you hear saying "Well done good and faithful one," is not coming from a radio. It's all so very simple, but I find it easier to convince children than adults. This has lead me to long wondered why, and suspected that we adults, and long time believers rely on way too many sources for help and information. I like the low tech walk with Jesus more than the gigabyte information sources--(I'm scratching my head right now, trying to square what I just wrote, with the fact that I'm communicating by way of the Internet.) I'm starting to feel a bit embarrassed, like I've talked way too much, or way out of line. mrk |

Mark I think I know where your coming from and your right. Unfortunately we are thrusted into a world that is ever expanding. I too wish every Christian would stop listening to most radio, all TV and most christian books and get back to the Bible and the Holy Spirit. But as recorded in Daniel "...the end of time; many will go back and forth, and knowledge will increase." Daniel 12:4 | ||||||
