BBC NEWS | Business | Sony delays PlayStation 3 launch It’s no big shock that Sony just announced the delay of the PS3 (at least to me). This game has been surrounded by the cloud of Microsft since the PS2’s demise from Xbox’s many pronged attack. Just like it’s predecessor, Ninetendo, Sony will now have a lot of ground to make up when it does launch it’s console. Why do you care, or I care? Well, actually I don’t much. But it is interesting to see Microsoft actually beat someone out through strategic placement of a product. Especially after my last article’s gist.

What illustrations of the church can be drawn from Sony’s failure? Don’t make promises you have no intention of keeping just to keep up with the competition. Right.

- Don’t say that church will be just as fun as playing video games, or a concert, or a night at Mardi Gras, unless you have the where-with-all to actually be better.

- Don’t promise people that there lives will be nothing but peaches and cream from the time they ask Jesus into their heart.

- Don’t try to be better than everything else, just for the ske of being better.

The church is emptying out from the broken promises of the church trying to be something it isn’t. We don’t have seeker sensitive services anymore, we have leaver sensitive services, because so many have left the church of what’s happening now. It’s empty.

Better than all the don’t’s is the idea of the do’s.

- Do try to meet people where they are for the sake of bringing them to a deeper life of faith.

- Do spend lots of time talking to them and praying for them.

- Do have fun together.

- Do join in the process of seeing a king rule His Kingdom.
