Do you know if....?
Are there any movies out there that I can watch without being afraid there is something in it that I don't want to expose myself to? Do you have any suggestions? I'd be glad to hear them. I should start a business on clean movies.
I'm just sick and tired of bringing a movie home, expecting to have a nice time watching it, only to have to turn it off a little ways into it. It is so sick that this generation can sit down and view things they would have made people gasp about eighty years ago, or so. I was watching a movie, The Pajama Game, with Doris Day in it. My mother saw the ladies in pants and asking when the movie was made, she told me my great grandma would have been appalled at it, and I didn't think twice about the ladiesin tight pants. (It was made in my great grandma's day.)
Have we gone so far now that there is no turning back? I don't believe that any of us nowadays are stronger than they used to be. In fact these movies weaken our standards and infect our minds even without our knowledge of it. We just think,"Oh, we can ignore it". We have just excepted it to be the 'way things are'.
I think all we can do is pray that God will rise up a people that revise what 'good' movies are. And I have decided to be one of those people. Next time you watch a movie instead of thinking, "What's wrong with that?", start thinking and decide, "What is right with it?". How does it line up to God's Word? Like the brownies with only a little 'dog do' in it, movies can be the same way.
If you have even the smallest of doubts that you shouldn't be watching something walk away. Would you be watching that same movie if Jesus were sitting next to you? In all reality, He is.
"Finally, brothers, (and sisters) whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable-if anything is excellent or praiseworthy-think about such things."
Phil. 4:8

Well... now I'm convicted!
Ha.......I'm back!!
Summit was great, I was lonely, I didn't have anybody to share my convictions, nobody wanted to know how I was doing......I didn't get any sleep, I was sick, I had sores and bug bites, I was physically exhausted......IT WAS AMAZING. Oh yeah, and that is because God used me to speak to four different people that ended up accepting truth and submitting to God.....not for salvation, but choosing to walk under conviction and delightful obediance.
I'm tired though, so I must take a nap. I'm saying....less than 25 hours of sleep while I was there.
How are you doing?
