Stolen from Relevant, for a purpose: “Set your VCRs this fall for “The Real World: Baptist!” Southern Baptist-owned FamilyNet channel will be debuting the Christian reality series “TruthQuest: California,” which will follow the lives and experiences of twelve Southern Baptist teenagers traveling across California. “Basically, a person watching MTV is going to see how the world lives,” said Baptist Press assistant editor Todd Starnes. “We wanted to provide a show to show, ‘Hey, this is how Christians live’” ...

SO…what kind of things can we look forward to on a Southern Baptist “Real World?”

1. Todd leaves his glasses at the altar after a Sunday night service, and returns to find that Clara and Bill are STILL holding hands, crying and praying, almost an hour later. Hmmmm..
2. Alice and Sara disagree on who will post the missionary birthdays on the refrigerator. Now they aren’t speaking.
3. The topic of the Friday Night Bible study- “Is masturbation always wrong?” has the guys in a serious mood….
4. Allie has started watching a lot of the Oxygen Channel, and the group is concerned. It’s confrontation time.
5. Sam wants to start street preaching in the Wal Mart parking lot, but the rest of the group wants pizza.
6. A group vote on what church to attend ends in a tie. Half the group likes the cool Praise band at Cornerstone Baptist, but the other half really like the sound system and AV at First Baptist. Looks like time to draw lots. Time to call Nashville.
7. Sharon has been wearing a black bra, and Todd asks the other guys to pray with him about a lust problem.
8. There’s a BEER CAN in the trash!!! Whose is it!!!!
9. Ronnie says that the group is gotten too worldly, and he wants TBN on 24/7.
10. Sam confronts the group about totally overlooking the Annie Armstrong Easter offering. Tempers flare!!

Your turn…
