You adulterous people, don't you know that friendship with the world is hatred towards GOD? Anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of GOD. James 4:4
Reflection:
One of my favorite past times in the past was watching TV and the commercials in between were very enticing! I would be glued for hours especially during nighttime when most of the blockbuster shows were aired. Weekends were also spent watching TV and movies and the more I watched them, the more my mind was filled with things of this world tempting and enticing me to live a worldly lifestyle.
TV and movie shows including advertisements and commercials are the fastest and most effective ways to spread worldly lifestyles. Because the world today adores and loves the spectacular, the devil is using these channels to tempt, pollute and corrupt mankind in every way. He also uses these to spread his blatant lies and deception so that our lifestyles move away from the things that are Holy and Godly. JESUS faced the same situation when the devil gave HIM an attractive offer. He took JESUS to the peak of the highest mountain and showed HIM the nations of the world and all their splendor and glory and offered to give it all to HIM only if HE would kneel down and worship him. But JESUS answered to worship the LORD GOD and serve HIM only (Matthew 4:8-10)!
The world will continue to idolize celebrities, the powerful, the rich and famous people whose wealth, lavish lifestyles and immoralities are being flaunted and accepted. Let us be always reminded that we Christians must strive hard to live Holy lives by being obedient to GOD and not allowing our lives to be shaped by those desires when we were still ignorant (1 Peter 1:13-16).
Prayer:
O HOLY SPIRIT, give us wisdom and guidance so that we may not be tempted in any way.
