Bible Question:
Now days why are churched people trying to entertain the world, such as mega rap stars. Pleased define gospel entertainment as in the New Testament Bible, is gospel entertainment a part the greater works Christ said the Christian would do. Where in bible can I find such Christian conduct? |
Bible Answer: I like Angel's reply. I don't know of any passages that specifically deal with the topic of entertainment. (Someone will probably object, but I think that the world needs a constant distraction in order to obviate their sense of guilt and emptiness. A lot of so called Christian music seems to be along these lines... and it also seems much more fleshly than spiritual, IMHO.) Now, this is not to say that entertainment is bad per se. After all, Christ himself was known to attend what we'd call parties today. However, He did so while glorifying and honoring God, so that would be our challange also. I guess the question is if entertainment fits Philippians 4:8 and it is not an abuse of Christian liberty, then its okay. (Now if I can only learn to put my money where my mouth is!) |
