I watched an excellent
Christian movie on TUBI
TV called 'Power of the
Air'. It was about the power
of the media (the internet,
radio, television,
newspapers, and the
movie theatres) and how
much their ungodly, worldly
messages influence our
lives. What better way for
Satan to distract people from
godly Christian entertainment
than to make us want to be
'more like the world' and to
like what the world likes.
The Bible shows us that this
is how we sinful human
beings have turned from
God and Jesus Christ
towards sinful human
entertainment. What do I
mean by that?
Well, what does Satan
want us to watch? - things
that will soften our stand
on Christian values and
that will allow us to watch
nudity on screen
(someone's daughter, sister,
wife, or other person's
relative that is shown
nude on screen - would
you want your loved one
naked on screen?), hear
foul language (Philippians
4:8 see below) and
never cringe.
Philippians 4:8
Finally, brethren,
whatsoever things are
true, whatsoever
things are honest,
whatsoever things are
just, whatsoever things
are pure, whatsoever
things are lovely,
whatsoever things are
of good report; if there
be any virtue, and if
there be any praise,
think on these things.
Or what about television
and movies, internet or
radio that use the name
of Jesus Christ and God
as swear words? When
you (as a Christian) hear
Jesus Christ's name or
God's name used to damn
things - using their precious
names as swear words,
what do you do? Do you
continue watching and sluff
it off thinking it is
unimportant? This makes
me want to cry. What
does God think about us so
carelessly accepting people's
use of His Name and the
Name of Jesus Christ, the
Saviour of the world, the
Son of God, as swear words?
LISTEN TO THIS AND
HEED HIS WARNING!
Exodus 20:7 (This is
the 3rd of God's 10
Commandments.)
Thou shalt not take the
name of the LORD thy
God in vain; for the
LORD will not hold him
guiltless that taketh his
name in vain.
When we use God's name
or the name of our Lord
Jesus Christ it should be
to pray to them or to be
discussing them with
someone in a way that
honors and worships
them. Does your
entertainment do that?
And how will we answer
to Jesus when we meet
Him in person at the
Judgment Day as to
how we honored His
name and our heavenly
Father's name? Think
about it.
