Things I'm thinking about

Things look to be slowing down enough for me to put some things down in hardcopy and digital copy. I'm in the process of tackling two subjects that have been on my mind for a few years now.

The nature of Satan, and self indoctrination. Mainly through Movies. We've all heard the stories about subliminal messages, and back-masking on music albums. I believe that there is a much more sublte way the enemy works, and we welcome it by convincing ourselves that it's a morally affirming harmless escape. Be careful little ears what you hear, be careful little eyes what you see. I remember singing those words in my sunday school class growing up.
I used to think it was a silly conservative goody goody song. It was, but it's true.

I am very selective about what I allow my self to see, and feel when it's under the pretense of entertainment. Or mindlessly escaping my said reality into the world of imagination on the big screen. In my past, I would watch anything I wanted. The condition of my heart became a fragile mirror of what I had filled it with. Thanks be to God for the restoration that is in Christ. It has taken me years to deprogram.
I'm certain I still am. I have noticed a stark contrast in the level of faith and the ability to believe God at His word, in people who do not have such easy access to media. Or whom do not seek that type of entertainment.

I have begin to notice a popular trend in movies geared towards the youth. I used to only see it in adult orientated films with more mature themes. While the popular theme of children's media was usually "You have the power to be what ever you want so long as you believe in yourself enough" A seemingly noble battle cry against low self esteem, and the disadvantaged.

I have noticed a far more dangerous and deceptive theme in almost every movie geared towards the youth in recent media. An indoctrination that coencides with this neo science and reason vs the God. Anything being associated with Religion or tradition being confronted as ancient lunacy. It's a new age of enlightenment and it's geared at this last generation.

More to come.
