Is this an example of where the medium has become the message? Martin is 
quite right when he says that in every church the focus should be on 
Jesus Christ rather than the star preacher.  Once that happens things 
are likely to go awry sooner or later, and it is is often not good for 
the star preacher either. Certainly it can open the way to temptation.
