Rev Wong has been invited to the Living Room, a young adult ministry in SIB that addresses marketplace issues... So far, the ministry dealt with gender issues, reverse-culture shock etc.
I was roped in to do the Da Vinci Code forum on Nov 11 (gulp!)...
Desperately need prayers...
Ian, the energetic end-time financial consultant, reminds me of Larry King :) and funny as David Letterman could be... hehehe... Suspect it would be fun.
But more importantly, i hope it's informative and prepare Christians to engage culture in an intelligent, calm and sensible manner.
Movies can work for us (Narnia) or against us (Da Vinci Code).
La Shawn Barber was right on the money when she wrote:
"Unbelievers (and not a few Christians) may scoff at us for taking The Da Vinci Code phenomenon so seriously. But pop culture is powerful, and although we surely have more productive things to do, setting the record straight and offering a reasoned defense of the faith and correcting historical inaccuracies are also important, even when the subject is fiction.
Christian bloggers can create a blog swarm around the upcoming movie...
Commit to studying your Bible if you’re not doing so already, read early church history (see articles) and articles on The Da Vinci Code written by other Christians, and start publicly defending what you believe."

Yes, controversies stir up conversations. Not a bad thing, for the Christian voice to be heard. Will be praying. :-)
