Kirk Cameron - I mentioned this before about Kirk calling the acts of homosexuality as unnatural and gay "marriage " as destructive on a major talk show , the vitriol and backlash that has been labeled at him has been a clear sign of a world in full and complete perversion and handed over to their lust and sin. The enemies of God do not want open and fair dialogue , but only wish to silence all critical interaction with the subject they deem taboo. Be it homosexuality or abortion . To proclaim the truth of God's word and declare a biblical moral standard concerning these things , you are labelled a bigot , anti-female , homophobic ,hate speech , promoting a out dated and irrelevant view. But they do not want to debate or dialogue with anyone like Cameron who holds to the truth of God's revealed word . They only wish to shout you down and attack you personally , sad beyond measure.
The Danger of Seeker Sensitive Movement - The weakness of this movement will become more apparent in time as the world shifts towards a more open view on all expressions of sexuality , be it gay , fornication , adultery etc.. If you are going to keep your pews full and the money coming , instead of calling a spade a spade , you will find ways to make the waters murky and like the smiling pastor , dance around these issues so as not to offend anyone. Then of course you have the shaping of worship time that is more comfortable for the unbeliever , instead of God being at the center of your worship , you make a unrepentant sinner the center . This can only lead to a watered down bunch of drivel , cloaked in Jesus speak . The sheep will be unfed and weak . This movement may have numbers but from all I have read from studies , the depth of doctrinal understanding is shallow and weak. May God raise up men again to preach the word boldly and with unction and conviction.
Watching Entertainment - I do watch some TV . Many probably watch way too much during the week but that is not what I wish to say . I really have no problem with watching stories . God gave us imaginations and in the visual arts , even the secular mind cannot escape certain themes of mercy ,justice, redemption , forgiveness , purpose etc.. and those are the things I look for when deciding if a show is worth my time . The same with movies as well . They don't have to be explicitly Christian ,but I'm drawn towards shows with these type of themes. The key word I would say to anyone is discern . Use your mind and watch with a critical mindset. Don't watch passively . No question , there are some shows that just cannot be watched at all but many may be worth your time . In watching them it can also give you a insight to the culture around you as well .
On a Lighter Note - I did not get a chance to see the new Muppet Movie , so I look forward to renting it when it soon will be released . All I read form sites I trust in general have truly liked it. There has always been something intrinsically hopefully about the Muppets , and in today's age , it was nice to see the Movie do well . Perhaps once I see it , I may give a quick review .
