I have come to see if a Baptist preacher were to show the movie in his church, he would be in a lot of trouble. The movie does show a nude scene so chances are, they won't show it in a church. I just realize that and for that, I am thankful to You.
What would Jesus do in this situation? How do I follow Jesus when it comes not only to my entertainment habits but to all things? I admit that I don't always follow Jesus' example. For instance, I realize that I put too much stock into entertainment. I even have obsessive thoughts about what to watch and what to avoid.
I am sorry that I am using this question WWJD to avoid things but I realize that there can be a healthy avoidance to things. I will set no evil thing before my eyes. I wondered yesterday if I were to watch tv would some content be an example of setting evil before my eyes. Is it true that David was speaking of a healthy avoidance to stay away from bad influences?
I didn't think about that until yesterday. I give You all credit and all praise for what has just happened. It is as if my eyes were clear and my anxiety just went away. I wish I could give no credence to those thoughts and let the thoughts pass but it is hard. Help me to do the things I think are hard. Help me to do what is possible for You. What is hard for me is to break the obsessive compulsive cycle.
Sincerely,
Letters to God
