I agree, more moral values, purity, and respect for one another are sorely needed.
I wonder if there ever was a time/place in the history of the world, when a whole group of people actually expressed all-around good moral values and respect for one another.
It would be good if more females, AND males, would act/dress/talk more modestly, and “clean”, and be more respectful of one another. It certainly would help to bring more good into the world. People would get along a whole lot better if they really listened to what Jesus said, “love one another” (with that pure, respectful love that he himself expressed). Express more kindness, respect, consideration, etc. What a difference that would make in the world!
Magazines, comic books, manga, anime, movies, cartoons, for the past several years haven’t helped any, and that needs to be addressed also. Females have been made to compromise morals, innocence, purity. They’ve been pushed to undress more and more, to perform more indecent acts for the whole world to see, all to please immoral people, just to get a part, (or more pay, that isn’t even comparable to male actors who don’t have to bare anything) in ignorant, immoral, useless movies, that have no real good meaning or help for anyone, and obviously contribute to sex crimes, violence against women and children, etc.
The more people are lured by that sort of thing, the more they’re directed to focus on it, (and how can it be avoided, it’s all over the place, in stores on covers of magazines and books, on tv’s they have on, in restaurants on the tv’s), the more they take it in and pay attention to it… the more they’re affected by it in turn, and obviously not in a good way. There is nothing good or right in any of that. More good, clean, family friendly magazines, books, movies would be nice, there’s way too much of the other.
Females should start saying no to parts in movies that require any immorality, stand their ground, and hold to good moral values, (since the ones making the movies like that haven’t/won’t), then the ones “running the show” would have to quit it, or they wouldn’t have females to play the parts.
Females AND males need to start saying no to the immoral stuff they’re made to do for movies, and the kinds of modeling they’re being made to do, not only for their own sakes, but for the sakes of children that end up seeing that stuff. That is not a good example for children. Not many people seem to care about the kind of examples they’re setting for children, and what they’re exposing children to.
Someone has to start making a stand for right, for good, sometime, (it’s up to each individual), or it will never happen, and society/the world will just continue to go down the drain, and slip into darkness, and the emptiness of that kind of life in the mire and muck of iniquity and degradation.
The movie industry, as well as the so-called “arts”, have added to the immoral state of society, and until this is addressed, and corrected, it will continue to corrupt the minds of the people, and add to the rot and decay of mind and body, of the people who allow that, or let that in.
Light and dark cannot dwell together. Jesus said no kingdom divided against itself can stand. If we dwell on and express the dark stuff of life, that’s what we’ll express and see more of, if we dwell on and express the light of life, that’s what we’ll express and see more of. We either stand on the side of good/light, or fall on the side of evil/darkness.
Bible quotes- Eph. 5:11 (RSVCE) Take no part in the unfruitful works of darkness, but instead expose them.
Eph. 5:11 (ASV) have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather even reprove them;
Eph. 5:5-14 (PHILLIPS) Evil is as utterly different from good as light from darkness
5-14 For of this much you can be certain: that neither the immoral nor the dirty-minded nor the covetous man (which latter is, in effect, worshipping a false god) has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God.
Have nothing to do with men like that—once you were “darkness” but now you are “light”. Live then as children of the light. The light produces in men quite the opposite of sins like these—everything that is wholesome and good and true. Let your lives be living proofs of the things which please God. Steer clear of the activities of darkness; let your lives show by contrast how dreary and futile these things are. (You know the sort of things I mean—to detail their secret doings is really too shameful). For light is capable of “showing up” everything for what it really is. It is even possible for light to turn the thing it shines upon into light also. Thus God speaks through the scriptures: “Awake, you who sleep, arise from the dead, and Christ will give you light.”
I agree with the remarks, and I like that prayer that Teese quotes.
Sorry this got so long. This is an issue that I don’t think gets enough attention, and never gets or sees any real reform. This issue does need some good, strong prayers.
Take care everyone,
And blessings, and light and love to everyone.
Look to God, Light, Love (as the Bible states, God is love; God is light and in him is no darkness at all), and you will be guided to, and by that light, and will bring that light and love into your life more and more, and will express it more and more, which is so needed in this world.
