Movie Perspective

By Gabriel

 

As movies come out to theaters such as Chronicles of Narnia Prince Caspian, Speed Racer, Indiana Jones, and The Spiderwick Chronicles naturally there are going to be commercials.  When we watch those commercials we get the urging to watch the movies in theaters.  But what we need to realize is although going to see movies is alright in itself we need to keep it in perspective by asking these questions.  How will this movie affect my faith? Will this in any way forward God’s Kingdom?  Also we should ask ourselves would God approve.  Not only should we ask ourselves this question for movies but for everything we do.

God and Football

I enjoy going to Super Bowl parties and watching the game, but seriously, what does the Super Bowl accomplish?  Can it finish the war?  Does it feed the poor?  Do we become closer to God when we are cheering for our team because they’re winning?  If you watch the Super Bowl to God’s glory, then by all means do it, but if it’s a cause for arguments or if it becomes more important than the Lord and your family, then put it in perspective and pray for wisdom and peace in the family.  The Super Bowl is good…in proportion.  so find a way to balance football with God.
