These days it is quite common to be shown a film clip as part of a sermon or Bible study.
It may be a famous scene from a classic movie, or a YouTube download of an advert that has gone viral. For many Bible teachers it is second nature to integrate technology and multimedia with their message.
However, using film as illustration stops short of a more important task facing the church. The reality is that many people are digesting the messages and being led by the morality of the movies they watch.
