I am just from watching a "funny" video of a man who was chasing his crush and his wife shows up and he starts dancing...it is "funny".......Oh...pardon me, let me explain why I use the quotation marks...you see I do not see anything funny with a married man chasing another woman no matter the humor they try to put in it.......
I have received so many "funny" clips..audios.images through social media and some I am even tempted to share until the Holy Spirit convicts me...then I try to rationalize that it was shared in a Church group am in so it has to be okay.....
What am I getting at?
The impact of Christianity is not felt so much because we have compromised in one way or another and one way that we have compromised and we do not seem to notice is in the jokes we listen to, laugh at and share......
The problem?
You see why would you as a Christian who reads the Bible and believes it as true....laugh at the video of that man chasing his crush when the Bible condemns adultery? Oh...am being too spiritual???
Why would you as a Christian share a "funny" image with curse words when the very Bible you believe clearly says that;
Ephesians 5:4: Let there be no filthiness nor foolish talk nor crude joking, which are out of place, but instead let there be thanksgiving.
Colossians 3:8: But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth....
Why would you as a Christian sit down
watching a stand up comedian making jokes that are obscene and laugh.?...
Why would you as a Christian share "funny" audios,
videos, pictures when you believe that God has called you to be holy just as He
is holy.?
Why do we want to fit in so much into the world that is
Why do you feel the need to be labelled as cool when it requires
The solution...
I believe that if you never get the conviction of the Holy Spirit
regarding certain jokes, then you do not spend enough time with God.... because
the more you spend time with God...the more you get to know what pleases
Him......
So start spending more time in His presence......
If you are hanging around people or you are in a group in social
media where people share so much of these "funny" jokes ...I suggest
you share with them that you do not entertain such jokes....if they do not
respect your stand...cut them off...it is better to make it to heaven without
one hand.....and one eye....
If it is the comedy movies you watch...the standup comedy shows
you watch....I suggest you stop......because if we say we are Christians we
have to be willing to count everything a loss for the sake of Christ.......
It is high time we take Christianity seriously because Christ took
it seriously to the point of giving His life for us....then we will be a light
in this world....a salt that will not lose its saltiness.....we will be
distinct.....and stand up for Christ when the world is against Him.
