Wolves In Sheep Suits


In a world filled with distractions from the absolute truth, there is a desperate need for light in the midst of all the darkness. Now, more than ever, the Christian voice needs to be heard. The love of Christ needs to be seen in all of us that profess Him as our Saviour. Too many of us are worried how we may offend someone. Maybe we are afraid of being an outcast. Whatever the case may be, we are not on this earth to please man. We aren't here to blend in with society. Our focus should be solely on being a sweet savor to our Heavenly Father with obedience and allegiance. 

Since the entertainment industry is doing such an excellent job in redirecting our attention away from God, we can ill afford to be complacent, quiet Christians. It’s comforting to know that we have some co-laborers in the mainstream culture. Actors and athletes have the uncanning ability to influence us. Although they are just normal people like you and I, what they say or do has more leverage than us “mortals.” Hollywood is notorious for being a sin pool infested with wolves in sheep’s clothing. 

The devil is truly roaming the earth seeking whom he may devour. He knows he has limited time to loosely claim his own. Don't forget that he has help. The master of deception has countless tactics and tricks up his sleeve to lure us. His work is mostly subliminal so you won't notice him initially if at all. Some of the celebrities and entertainers our culture blindly emulate are part of the process. This is by no means meant to scare but simply to inform. So before you rest your eyes on a screen or bob your head to a song, know what you're doing. The majority of these artists below are probably either on your iPod or someone else's that you may know of. My plea is that you don't just take everything at first glimpse and ignore the signs. Do your research. Don't be so gullible and naive as I once was. There are plenty christian alternatives for the secular artists you can't seem to stop listening to.  Not only is the music wrong for its lyrical content, it is doing the exact opposite of bringing God glory and luring people away from Him.
