Do you see the difference between the popular movies and the Christian movies?
The Christian movies Grossed near the popular movies but that is all time to do so. the movie Courageous made more than John Wick but that is all time gross not opening weekend.
What are we putting our minds and hearts to?
We are supposed to be a Christian nation.
let's look further at one more film for each.
66,468,332 is the total amount made to date for the movie, Not Another Teen Movie.
1,248,630 is the total amount made to date for the movie, The Cokeville Miracle.
If we are a Christian Nation and we proclaim that we have Christian values, then how come the numbers are the way they are.
A nation that proclaims to be Christian should seek the things of heaven not of earth.
Therefore, if you have been raised with Christ, keep seeking the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Colossians 3:1 NASB.
We as Christians need to rethink where we put our focus, where and what our eyes see. does a movie like cocaine bear lead to Christ or away from Him and to evil? You be the judge.
Does Not another Teen movie lead us toward Christ or away from Christ and to evil? You be the judge.
I used to think movies like the one mentioned above was cool to watch. But did lead to Christ or to evil? You judge (the movie and where it may lead not me. If you remember we are not to judge others).
“No one after lighting a lamp puts it in a cellar or under a basket, but on a stand, so that those who enter may see the light. Your eye is the lamp of your body. When your eye is healthy, your whole body is full of light, but when it is bad, your body is full of darkness. Therefore be careful lest the light in you be darkness. If then your whole body is full of light, having no part dark, it will be wholly bright, as when a lamp with its rays gives you light.” Luke 11:33-36 ESV
22 “The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light, 23 but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness! Matthew 6:22-23 ESV
to open their eyes, so that they may turn from darkness to light and from the power of Satan to God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins and a place among those who are sanctified by faith in me.’ Acts 26:18 ESV
Let our eyes be that of light not of darkness! Let our eyes be on the one seated on the throne in heaven, not the one who is seated in hell!!!!
