A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another, as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if you have love one to another.John 13:34-35. Owe no man anything, but to love one another: for he that loveth another hath fulfilled the law. For this, thou shalt not commit adultery, Thou shalt not kill, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not covet; and if there be any other commandment, it is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely,Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. Love worketh no ill to his neighbour: therefore love is the fulfilling of the law.Romans 13:8-10 Let no man therefore judge you in meat, or in drink, or in respect of an holiday, or the new moon, or of the sabbath days:Colossians 2:16 . And I, brethren, could not speak unto you as unto spiritual, but as unto carnel, even as unto babes in christ. I have fed you with milk, and not with meat: for hitherto ye were not able to bear it, neither yet now are you able.For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnel, and walk as men? 1Corinthians 3:1-3 | ||||||

D Blesser Since we are tip toeing down the path of the love generation, maybe we should take a few bars of John Lennon's song 'imagine' and just imagine there is no heaven or hell. Therefore no judgement therefore no problem. As I hope you well know this is nonsense. Of course all forms of media can be used to bring the message, even a circus, but it must focus the listeners eyes, ears heart and spirit on God and His Son Jesus and if it doesn’t then it nothing more than entertainment. This is what is happening is most cases, the media is only satisfying the perceived needs of the audience. The songs are songs of encouragement based not on hope in Christ Jesus but on the 'ability' of the listener. It is drama that brings conviction not from a change of heart but of a 'emotional reaction' of the senses. It a video that brings a resolve to change because of a 'desire' to make this a better world and not true repentance because the viewer has sense of his sin. Excellent singing, talented acting, infinite budget for technology will not bring people to Jesus, they come only by the Holy Spirit after hearing the Gospel. The problem is not the media, I have no problem if someone can use media and bring people to Jesus. However what is occurring is they are using the media to entertain and delight the senses of the audience in an effort to keep the people, the gospel message is lost. EdB |
