Often times when discussions occur about which movies a Christian should watch the Christian’s sin or potential sin is at the center, but I want to suggest that we take the actors’ sins into consideration. I also want to suggest we apply this to more than just movies. The easiest example to demonstrate what I am talking about is immodesty. Let’s be honest many tv shows, youtube videos, photos, and movies have men and women dressed immodestly, which last time I checked is against the will of God and therefore sin. Considering this, can we truly sit and enjoy something in which someone (not a mere mortal) sinned against the Holy and sinless God? Let it no be so! May we never rejoice or approve of any sin, when the wages of sin is death. Our only reaction to these things should be tears of sadness, like Paul in Philippians, because these people are enemies of God and headed to destruction if they do not repent. Hollywood may make fun of and laugh at other’s sins, but we ought to mourn because we know sin is not a trivial matter in the eyes of God. No, instead it is the very reason he became incarnate, suffered, and was crucified on the cross. Let us not diminish the work of Christ on the cross by laughing off sin, whether others or ours. Let us repent and pray for mercy from the Holy God who is in the heavens and owes us nothing.

What I write AboutMy posts are all about the Christian walk in some way or another. I do my best to make what I post worth reading, thus there are many more things that I write about but do not post. Some of my posts are my reflections on scripture or a quote, other posts are simply my testimony, and others still are letters of encouragement. I hope that you will be encouraged or challenged in your walk with Christ as a result. God Bless you, my friend.
