I'm intrigued to see how future parents will strive to instill values like good character, appropriate dressing, respect for others, reverence for God, and polite speech in their children, all while they themselves idolize celebrities who promote contrary behaviors. 1/5
It's becoming increasingly evident that there is a sinister agenda to portray the most perverted versions of celebrities to our young minds. They go to great lengths to promote and embellish these artists, even if their songs lack quality. 2/5
They Use themes in the line of nudity, sexual perversion, pride, sadness, satanism or love of money to drive the songs and stage performances.
If the female artist isn’t dancing half naked, the male artist has female backup dancing half naked 3/5
Regarding an unbeliever performing on the altar/pulpit:
A church must be welcoming to everyone. We aren’t meant to condemn anyone or judge who’s allowed in or not.
But THE PULPIT is different. Not just anyone should mount the Pulpit/altar to perform. Here’s why:
The altar is the most sacred and most important space in the church. It’s not a “stage” for anyone or any performance. Just like in a hospital, any patient can walk in and be diagnosed, but not anyone can walk in and wear the white coat to asses the patients.
The pulpit/altar is not. It’s for those who have grown in the faith to lead. It’s for those who have reached a certain point in their calling where they are qualified to minister to the congregation.
I’VE FINALLY FOUND ONE!!! 🔥🔥
So After the previous tweet about how we must be careful with what we expose our children to, I got a lot of “where do we get good alternative content for them to be entertained and blessed at the same time?”. Well, I’ve found the place.😁TH-READ👇🏽
So there’s this platform called RIGHTNOW MEDIA started by a ministry in the United States and basically they are like Netflix, but filled with gospel content. High quality bible teachings from different servants of God from around the world. Stay with me…
They reach out to trusted men of God around the world and record a short series of bible teachings in their environment. They recently connected with MZ in Nigeria for a series recording with Pastor Chika Ossai-Ugbah and most recently Mike Bamiloye. Follow me, it gets better…
So I made a tweet on Marvel movies, and I think it's time to expand on that because there's something we need to hammer home in the body of Christ.
What exactly is it? The impact some of today’s films have on our generation, and even more so on our (future) children
THREAD!👇🏽👇🏽👇🏽
Let me preface this by saying I watch Marvel films as well, so this isn't a topic to completely ban, dissociate, or cancel Hollywood films from our homes (because you can bet some people wont read half of this thread but still come to their silly conclusions just to cause chaos)
Rather, this is a plea for us to be more deliberate in how much of God we pour into ourselves and subsequently into the lives of our children, so their thought process isn’t shaped by these movies.
I'll go over a few of the characters who sparked that concern
I made a tweet saying Expressing my joy for an artist’s transition from secular to gospel and I’m getting some fuming comments like “secular doesn’t mean devilish” etc. So let me respond. This is a thick THREAD. I hope you’re ready. 😅
For those who don’t truly know what “secular” means, or you’re not sure, Kindly read up my past thread before continuing with this thread. Thanks.
Now that we’ve established that not all secular songs are “evil” for a child of God, we have also established that living off of them alone isn’t healthy for our spiritual growth. Now let’s focus on the artists.
We are in the season where this topic seems to be slowly fading from among we Christians while the worldly standards are louder than ever before especially through the media. So I’m glad we’ve created a bit of a buzz so we can discuss and learn.
Movies and tv shows portray dating to be acceptable among youngsters and we see what goes on amongst them. As Christians, dating/courting should be between two intentional adults with marriage in view. I’ll dive deeper into it in a sec.
