cheranne Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 TRUE REALITY TV By ONLINE EXTRA Why should the devil have all the bad programming? Turn on the television any night and “reality TV” is coming at you. It’s time for Christians to show what true reality is. Here are some new shows to look for in the coming season. “No Idols Before Me” CBN’s answer to Fox’s American Idol is a CCM standoff between ten future stars pulled from the masses to sing praise to the Lord. Each week these spiffy kids will sing their hearts out and Christians all over America will vote to say who is called to a ministry of godly fame and fortune. Celebrity judges will include Bill Gaither, Kenneth Copeland, and Kid Rock. “Damascus Road” Cosponsored by NASCAR and the Southern Baptist Convention, this high-energy show will put contestants in stock cars on the track at Daytona. Every so often, giant halogen spotlights will glare directly into the drivers’ eyes as they hit speeds of up to 200 miles per hour. The last one driving is the true disciple and will lead the opening prayer at the Indianapolis 500. “Prayer Warrior” Kenneth Copeland will host this unusual prayer fest that tests the praying power of two opposing factions of Christians. The early episodes will pit the fans of two rival high school football teams in West Texas, with later episodes focusing on more divisive issues, including women’s ordination and the spiritual value of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. “Faith Factor” Staged in a full-sized replica of the Coliseum built outside of Rome, Georgia, this series will test the contestants’ faith right up to the edges of martyrdom, or at least until somebody flinches. The final episode will include lions and tigers and bears. Oh, my. “Plague” The abandoned Biosphere project will be the home for this collection of contestants who will fight to see who can survive the reenactment of the plagues on Egypt. The episode of boils will require a parental advisory warning. “Who Wants to be a Missionary?” Regis Philbin returns to host this trivia game centered around international trivia and improvisational Bible translating. Sixteen correct answers lead to quite a cache of treasures in heaven and an appointment to serve among the unchurched people groups of Outer Mongolia and Parsippany, New Jersey. “Are You Healed?” Celebrity judges Benny Hinn, Robert Tilton, and Pat Robertson call physically handicapped contestants to come on stage, toss away their crutches, and walk away healed. The winner will be obvious. “What’s Ruby’s Price?” Point of Grace will guide a young Christian bachelor who seeks to discern the one whom God has chosen for him – that one whose price is above rubies – from a bevy of ecumenical beauties. The final episode will be a wedding in the Crystal Cathedral; the losers will be sent as missionaries to Uzbekistan. Check your TV Guide for listings in your area.

hampshire73 Posted June 19, 2008 Share Posted June 19, 2008 :lol: I don't watch much TV. Maybe I would if there were shows like these. Then again, maybe not. When I do watch TV, I tend to stay away from reality shows. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
