The problem with Content
“Far too easy access to information that is sinful and corrupting, with little or no supervision. The reduction of personal interaction. The addiction of video games. The visual age seems to rob people of the desire and ability to think things through.”

Benefits Through Media
“The speed at which you can communicate important information is a God send. I can download material both written and visual to enable me to become informed and to inform others who perhaps do not regularly engage with these organisations...
…A short media clip during a Sunday service can relate world events from a Christian perspective and so release prayer, action and finance into a situation within a short period of time.”
