If a world view is composed of answering the three questions: Where did we come from, why are we here and where are we going? Then the alternative to the present secular and humanistic world view in dominance is in the Church. Islam and other world views also offer their own alternative and clearly right now Islam has a plan and is executing it through Sharia imposition world wide. It is here in the US where we are looking for alternatives.
Talk radio and Fox news broadcast from the point of view of the loyal opposition within the secular humanist world view. They bring in a clear and less intrusive government model for secular humanist view of life with room for other views within the dominance of secular humanism, something more a kin to living in the late 50s early 60s.
The main point in this is to share a couple things happening within the world view of Christianity.
I think some moves by even local churches show signs of life in beginning to stand against the dominate culture. A local church in Georgia has started making movies including the present one on the scene called Fireproof which is a well done low budget movie that fits the bill of new media, and alternative art. Made for $500k and now having make over $25 million and in over 800 theaters now…sales holding up for over a month now. This is a good sign they will continue with that kind of return on investment. Compare that to the string of money losers on the war in Iraq.
When it comes to live broadcast in the music world, the number one spot is held by a little band of rebels at the international house of prayer in Kansas City Missoui. They are online all the time with live music, much of it composed by the young sermon on the mount living Chistians that have abandoned themselves to Jesus. They produce more broadcast live than CNN, FOX, NBC, ABC, CBS and probably more than all of them together as there is no breaks in the 24 x 7 worship/prayer. The prayer and worship has been going on for 9 years. The live portion since last year. www.ihop.org
The Catholic Church has their own TV system now. God TV now is all over the world and now available on Direct TV and broadcasts many live events and is starting to coordinate world wide prayer vigils during crisis.
