-----------January 16, 2007Ministry Or Entertainment?It's that time of year again...time for the "is it ministry or entertainment" debate. Danny Jones started it this time. Readers of his blog have now weighed in, as well as fellow blogger Doug Harrison. I've seen this discussion come and go for many years. In that time, I've tried to condense my thoughts on the topic to just a few sentences. 1. Ministry and entertainment are not exclusive, but rather walk hand in hand. 2. Artists who hone their entertainment skills will see more potential for ministry over the long-term than artists who spend their time decrying entertainment. 3. Any artist who performs on a ticketed event has a contractual duty to entertain fans. 4. True ministry happens off the stage much more often than on the stage. 5. True ministry is MORE about using profits to do tangible good in the world and LESS about performing a weepy rehearsed testimony during every concert to stir up an emotional audience.
