Whats the Point?

I had Bible study last night. I’ve been pretty sick lately so I didn’t really have time to prepare anything, I figured we would watch a couple Christian comedian DVD’s. The first one I will admit was not all that great it wasn’t absolutely horrible but was defiantly lacking. The biggest problem was though that as soon as the kids heard it was a "Christian comedian" they immediately decided it could not possibly be funny "only Adults find stuff like that funny". Unfortunately the opening act did not sway their opinion. The second one though was really funny, it was just a bunch of clips form different comedians and every one cracked me up, and despite their best intentions even elicited a few laughs from the three guys who in particular were against such a variety. The one clip in particular was really hilarious with these three guys on stage doing improve. Everyone was cracking up until on a wide shot one of the kids exclaimed "Hey!! They’re in a church" well then it was just not so funny. They said it was because they just weren’t funny but the kids were laughing before they realized it was in a church but thought it was lame afterwards. I tried to get some sort of discussion going but it would only revert to family guy clips. Maybe it is our fault. Maybe we have ingrained this idea of church that is like oil and water with the rest of life as kids see it. Maybe it is a culture that has waged war against the idea of accountability and an ultimate morality. Perhaps it has chosen the church and God as it’s primary target with such success that even Church kids see it as stuffy and out of date without using their own experience and wisdom to discern the truth. I myself have declared something’s less exciting because it is "churchy". It angers me and frustrates me, that "church" has become synonymous with "boring". Yet this still excites me the name of Christ provokes reactions far from boring. You talk to someone about Jesus and even if they do not heed you or try to shut you out his name still gets a reaction. People get angry, scared, or defensive, or else better yet feel hope and the fire of faith ignited in their hearts, but they do not get bored. Perhaps that was the problem, it was too churchy and not enough Jesus.
But this problem still remains; we allow our preconceived perceptions dictate our opinions before we allow ourselves to experience something for what it is. If it is Churchy it is boring if it is nerdy we can’t enjoy it, if it won’t explode than really what the point. If it rambles on and gets further and further away from any sort of point it must be a blog.
