So last night (since I was forced to evacuate due to flooding and no power), I decided to watch the Video Music Awards (VMAs) on MTV by my boy's crib. I just have to say, that I knew my parents were strict and didnt let me watch for a reason, but I feel it has NEVER been this bad. I couldn't believe what I saw for one minute. The things that we used to be too embarrassed to say or do on television are just a common place nowadays.
****ALERT*****THIS IS THE KEEPING IT REAL SECTION*****
I have to say that the Devil is SOO prevalent in today's society. These little kids are looking/acting/talking devilish in every way. The worst part about it was, every single one of them were thanking God for getting them to where they were. One lady went into deep praise because her son won an award. Her son then approached the stage and began to shout the most useless profanity he could think of. Needless to say, my spirit was utterly disturbed.
I begin to think a little more on this. My first inclination was tojust turn the channel. But I thought to myself, "as a Christian, what is turning the channel doing to combat this?" Is this really standing up for holiness? I couldn't help but think that God didn't put me here to just accept this. But what could I do? Who am I to declare war on this "filth." After all, I'm still dealing with my own personal demons.
But God is really putting this on my heart. He's given me this music gift that I feel is peculiar. I'm going to figure out how to use this to fight the good fight. Rebellion is our sinful nature. War is usually the outcome of rebellions. The Great War is soon to occur, and I want to hone my skill for battle. You'll see some changes to come...and I hope you rock with me...
Much love,
MD
