GodTube

I found this website called "Godtube"(click here), which is like Youtube but about God obviously. I found on it on an advert in facebook, and it's so great! there's all kinds of videos, funny, inspirational,etc. I love it, I could spend hours on it. I really like the idea of it. I like the idea that they have, taking the positive things about youtube and using it to help christians live with God and spread his Word better. maybe a lot of times we make it a choice of  either staying away from non-christian things or tolerating them. we make it black or white. but maybe that's not the way it should be. maybe we don't have to abandon "worldly" things but we can take them and show the world: here's another way to use this; you dont have to abandon this but you can use it for God in his way.I really like that idea. taking the positive things in the world and using them for God, instead of just abandoning them because they don't alighn with christianity.
I found this article on USA today about this website(click HERE to read it). it talks about this website and the company and CEO of it. I do think that the people that aren't crazy about this website do have a point. I think that we shouldn't just abandon the world and make a christian version of everything. still, I think that it's also important that we don't just stop going to the websites, or movies that we dont believe are christian enough but show the world another way that doesnt include giving them up, if that makes sense.

the article also mentions how there is a jewtube.com(click here) and a islamictube(click here). i also love this idea because it's a good way for us to learn about other religions. to learn the positives that other religions have and they can learn the positives in us. we can go to these websites and see what these religions are like, what its believers believe, etc.
