Hollywood's Agenda

We’ve always heard that Hollywood is about making money, but I think it’s really about an immoral or amoral agenda to promote lifestyles, relativism, compromise and shades of gray with no black and white. …

There is a force in that community that says more important than making $100 million is to plant seeds in the minds of young people that will take them away from Jude-Christian ethics. …

Like anything, if you’re exposed to it enough, you become numb to it and you don’t see its effects on you.  I tell the folks at our church it’s like eating cheesecake.  We wake up and can’t feel its effects.  But if we ate it and woke up with a big lump of fat that had appeared on our side, we’d say, “Whoa, that’s not good.”

It’s the cumulative effect that wears down our resistance.  The devil is willing to bide his time and wait for the end result.  Scripture tells us to resist the devil and he will flee from us (James 4:7) — but first it says to submit ourselves to God.
