I don't watch tv much anymore but I have heard about this movie coming out called Magic Mike. Via Facebook many a ladies are planning their dates, cracking jokes, and dreaming about something called Magic Mike. I haven't seen any previews or really know what the deal is all about. I should also comment these aren't my "church ladies".
So this morning my sweet boys decide they will skip their morning cartoons to play ever so beautifully together (a rarity) and I decided to go from Animal Planet to the Today show for a change. This also never happens. So the Today show happens to have a star actor from this movie phenomena Magic Mike. Holy moly! Since when is it ok to move like that on morning television???!!!! Seriously???? I feel defiled. Not saying I'm better than anyone... Or on television period? That should stay in the club! And further more, have women lost their convictions? Never mind the actors. It was for a quick minute before it was over, just a blip, but it saddens me that women are so widely spread becoming more and more like men with their lustful desires and pleasures. We too need to guard our eyes and hearts from the lust of this world. Yes, women are sinful to the core too but it just makes me sad. This world is driving women apart from their men or men apart from their women more and more. Not only do women have a skewed idea of what they should look like but now men too need to be compared to male strippers and a woman has the idea a male stripper body is what her man should look like or maybe just desire him to look like. It just makes me sad. I know I shouldn't expect anything different from people who aren't in Christ. I more than likely would have been one of the excited gals without Christ in my life.
We do, male and female alike, need take care of ourselves and exercise, improve our health, yes, but rather than being satisfied with who God has given us and take delight in our spouses our world is bombarded with things like Magic Mike and all the other lustful scenes. And people are excited about this. And for the single ladies, look to a man with dignity and respect not one who seeks to sell their body.
Matthew 5:28 "But I say to you that everyone who looks at a woman [man] with lustful intent has already committed adultery with her [him] in his [her] heart." Time to start dubbing in "man", "her", and "him".
Malachi 2:15 "Guard yourselves in your spirit and let none of you be faithless to the wife [or husband] of your youth."
P.S. I've decided anything outside of Nick jr, some of Animal Planet or the Christian music station is just not a good idea.
I actually have a post started about Fifty Shades of Gray as well. I didn't know what it was until a friend was outraged about it. It is sad.
ReplyDeleteI did not know about this Magic Mike either until I saw someones facebook post yesterday. Also the Fifty Shade of Gray is being labeled "mommy porn" which is disturbing to me. To think it is a best seller and a movie is being made. Family Life sent out an article about it and how a Christian woman should not read it. Unfortunately, many Christian acquaintances are reading or have read it. I say stay away--why give the devil a foothold.
ReplyDeleteIt is quite disgusting. And just sad to see the completely acceptable depravity. 50 shades I heard was highly disturbing. Includes abuse? Not cool! Our world has been taken over! Just wait until these women realize that their husbands aren't these star, fairy tale men, and expectations are ruined. Oh mercy! Praying the Lord makes me gentle yet full of his wisdom and truth if ever I encounter someone who opposes my view and the truth of the word. Lord give us courage to stand for you truth!
