I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

"WHAT WOULD JESUS DO?" BY DAVID MCMILLEN

WHAT WOULD JESUS DO?

 

DO YOU THINK WATCHING A MOVIE IS A SIN?  LET'S LOOK AT SOME SCRIPTURE THAT MIGHT ENLIGHTEN US.  1ST CORINTHIANS 10:23 SAYS "All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not."  AND VERSE 31 "Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God."  I GUESS THE QUESTION SHOULD BE, DO THE MOVIES YOU WATCH BRING GLORY TO GOD?  











THAT BRINGS US TO PHILIPPIANS 4:8 WHICH SAYS "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."  I DON'T BELIEVE WE HAVE SINNED IF WE WATCH A MOVIE OR TV PROGRAM THAT DOES NOT CONFLICT WITH GOD'S WORD.  



WHAT WE HAVE TO BE CAREFUL OF IS IF WE LET A SCENE BRING ON A FEELING OF LUST OR ANYTHING THAT IS CONTRARY TO GOD'S WORD, THEN WE HAVE SINNED.  LOOK WHAT JESUS TELLS US IN MATTHEW 5:27-28 Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not commit adultery: But I say unto you, That whosoever looketh on a woman to lust after her hath committed adultery with her already in his heart.  



WE ALSO HAVE TO WATCH WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK OF US GOING TO CERTAIN TYPES OF MOVIES.  I SAY THIS BECAUSE OF WHAT IT SAYS IN ROMANS 14:13 Let us not therefore judge one another any more: but judge this rather, that no man put a stumblingblock or an occasion to fall in his brother's way.  IF A NEW CHRISTIAN SEES US GOING TO A MOVIES THAT IS QUESTIONABLE AND IT LEADS THEM TO SIN, I BELIEVE THIS WOULD BE A STUMBLING BLOCK.  THESE NEW CHRISTIANS ARE GOD'S LITTLE ONES AND TO OFFEND ONE OF THEM WOULD BE BAD FOR US BECAUSE OF WHAT JESUS SAYS IN MATTHEW 18:6 "But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea."  I WOULD RATHER NEVER GO TO A MOVIE THAN TO LET THIS HAPPEN TO ME.




SO, YOU BE THE JUDGE ON WHAT YOU ARE WATCHING WHETHER IT IS SIN OR NOT.  I HAVE HAD TO DROP MANY OF THE SHOWS I WATCHED ON TV BECAUSE OF THIS.  I HAVE FOUND THAT I HAVE REALLY ENJOYED WATCHING HGTV AND THE FOOD CHANNELS ALTHOUGH I FIND THAT WATCHING THE FOOD CHANNELS IS MAKING ME GAIN WEIGHT.  THAT'S A MESSAGE FOR LATER. WHEN YOU START WATCHING A MOVIE OR TV PROGRAM, JUST ASK YOURSELF IF THIS IS SOMETHING THAT JESUS WOULD WATCH AND I BELIEVE YOU WILL MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION.



GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
