Stand Guard

If an enemy attacked your home through the front door, would you just unlock it and let him in?

I worry that is exactly what will happen this weekend in many Christian homes.

This weekend the movie Fifty Shades of Grey opens, and many Christian women are unaware of the danger within it.

I have not read the books. Nor do I intend to. It is pornography. It depicts a woman being drawn into a violent relationship outside of marriage.

Please, please do not bring these images into your mind. If you read the book, you cannot unread it, but you can choose not to support the disturbing trend that glorifies violence toward women in the film industry.

God intended sex between husband and wife in a gentle and caring manner. Please do not bring the ideas from the film into your marriage bed.

If you've seen anything about the movie, you may have noticed that the title character's name is 'Christian.' Do you see how subtle that is? Christians should be up in arms against this movie, and the main character is named the very thing we call ourselves! As if he is one of us.

Do NOT be fooled! This is not the stuff you want in your mind, heart and imagination.

Proverbs 4:23 - Above all else, guard your heart, for it is the wellspring of life. 

Stand guard!
