Saints of God,

There are many movies we would like to see because they provide an outlet of entertainment and fellowship. But as you seek movies for your enjoyment, you must consider the content and message of each. Many of the movies today contain images and messages that are ungodly. Cursing, sexual messages, nudity, senseless killing, blasphemy, etc. fill the box offices looking for our hard-earned dollars.

As children of God, we must be careful of the movies we support. The movies described above do not support or provide the godly lifestyle our Father desires us to live. It only keeps us connected to the world:

1 John 2:15-17 (ESV) - Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world-- the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride in possessions--is not from the Father but is from the world. And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.

See, the world craves after this sort of 'entertainment,' but not so for the Christian. We should allow what we see and hear to be edifying toward a godly walk in Christ before the world.

Matthew 6:22-23 (ESV) - The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light, 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!

Psalm 51:8 (ESV) - Let me hear joy and gladness; let the bones that you have broken rejoice.

Turn from those movies that contain negative images, dialogue, and messages that are ungodly. This life we live is not just about enjoying ourselves, but serving God and living a pleasing lifestyle before Him.
