I love music videos. I am one of those people who will watch the same one over and over again. Last night I was sitting here at the computer watching some with my sisters. We started off by watching Christian ones like superchick and flyleaf and I noticed that the people, to put it bluntly look like freaks. Seriously you can’t watch this video (I didn’t even bother finishing this one, don’t feel like you have to either. The first few seconds are enough) and then deny it. But still I went on watching all of them thinking that’s just how everybody looks in music videos. At the bottom of our list we had this video by Coldplay. I was surprised! It was the first non-Christan music video I had watched that day and it was also the only one I had seen that was perfectly clean. The guys looked clean, they didn’t look like freaks, they were dressed modestly, they seemed to being having fun. Yes, I realize that not all Christan videos are like that and I know that there are plenty of non christian music videos which are worse then the Christan ones I posted links to here. There also some great Christan music videos. But these videos reminded me of something I have noticed before. As Christians we are constantly being called names and mocked by non-Christan’s but instead of sucking it up and moving on we change the ways we dress, talk and think trying to appear more (for lack of a better word) appealing to our mockers. And we soon get lost in the lies of world. We become obsessed with trying to see are far we can push the limits and still call ourselves “Christan”, Satan and the world looks on laughing. They set this trap for us and we fell into it once again. We have read Gods law (The Bible) and we know what he requires and the rewards that come with it, yet we are laying on the ground, we are fallen. We know how and we have the means to stand up again, but will we? And where are you? Are you on the ground? Stand tall, stand strong, be different. Because we Christan’s actually have a reason to.
ok… that Flyleaf video scares me. The girl looks like a druggie and at first it looked like blood coming down the wall. That is NOT how Christians should act in the slightest! It saddens me to see things like that that are labeled as Christian. It is not like Christ at all! Very sad!
Seeing things like that make it comfortable and ok for Christians to act like that and it is wrong!
I am very saddened by the way “Christians” are more and more like the world!
