Social media is flooding over with pictures and blogs and comments about a recent television display… I have spoken on it as well, but I refuse to use a name or pinpoint a female. Why? This display simply personified what is almost every song lyric in secular radio, almost every style and gossip magazine, almost every movie, almost every sitcom and reality show…

I have yet to understand why now all of a sudden everyone is so shocked.

I mean my goodness have you listened to the lyrics of the songs on secular radio at all or are you too busy running from work to school to soccer practice to dance to even pay attention to what is flooding in your child’s ears as they bob their head to the beat? This has been around for a while. Your daughters and sons have been singing about this over and over and over and over and over for years… so why so shocked America?

So I am not going to post pictures or name names to condemn or attempt to judge one girl when she has simply been used, I believe by God Himself, to open eyes that have been blind and ignorant and unwilling to see for WAY TOO MANY YEARS.

What I will do is post about these two girls:

So moms and dads and bloggers and posters and tweeters, how about we stop proving the media’s good advertising point and stop digging up, tearing down, pretend judging, reposting and retweeting about the self-destruction of one… when there are ladies whose news we can spread that might really make a difference in someone’s life…

So this I say, and affirm together with the Lord, that you walk no longer just as the Gentiles also walk, in the futility of their mind, being darkened in their understanding, excluded from the life of God because of their ignorance that is in them, because of the hardness of their heart; and they, having become callous, have given themselves over to sensuality for the practice of every kind of impurity with greediness.

But you did not learn Christ in this way, if indeed you have heard Him and have been taught in Him, just as truth is in Jesus, that, in reference to your former manner of life, you lay aside the old self, which is being corrupted in accordance with the lusts of deceit, and that you be renewed in the spirit of your mind, and put on the new self, which in the likeness of God has been created in righteousness and holiness of the truth.

Therefore, laying aside falsehood, speak truth each one of you with his neighbor, for we are members of one another. Be angry, and yet do not sin; do not let the sun go down on your anger, and do not give the devil an opportunity. He who steals must steal no longer; but rather he must labor, performing with his own hands what is good, so that he will have something to share with one who has need. Let no unwholesome word proceed from your mouth, but only such a word as is good for edification according to the need of the moment, so that it will give grace to those who hear. Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness and wrath and anger and clamor and slander be put away from you, along with all malice. Be kind to one another, tender-hearted, forgiving each other, just as God in Christ also has forgiven you.

Ephesians 4:17-32

**********************

Therefore do not be partakers with them; for you were formerly darkness, but now you are Light in the Lord; walk as children of Light (for the fruit of the Light consists in all goodness and righteousness and truth), trying to learn what is pleasing to the Lord.

Do not participate in the unfruitful deeds of darkness, but instead even expose them; for it is disgraceful even to speak of the things which are done by them in secret. But all things become visible when they are exposed by the light, for everything that becomes visible is light. For this reason it says,

Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise, making the most of your time, because the days are evil. So then do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. 

Ephesians 5:7-16
