I had a very interesting conversation today. One in which I would like to invite you to continue with me. Where is the line for speakers for a church event? Is it ok to have non-believers speak at Church events? When is the attempt to draw a crowd or reach a demographic going to far? We have all been to events simply because of the “BIG NAME” key note speaker. You weren’t necessarily interested in the event, but you wanted to see the speaker in person, so you went. Churches have often, invited professing Christians, and some who were non-professing Christians, with a nationally known name to speak at an event in the hopes of attracting the multitudes in an effort to share the Gospel. Most of us don’t think about it, we go or we don’t, but do you think the Gospel is blurred by a well intended effort? Or is it possible to leverage the fame of a random person (athlete, CEO, Rockstar, Actor, blogger, etc) to maximize the attempt to share the Fame of our savior?
What do you think? Where is the line? Does it matter?
