AMEN!

While I am probably one of the most laid back, keep-to-myself believers folks will find in the secular world, Wrong is literally RIGHT in their post about relationship with God. I’m all for meeting people where they’re at (which appears to be an oft repeated quote in this show); but once you accept Jesus and decide you are going to follow Him, you have to be clear that the end all be all is about your salvation and doing things for His glory. So essentially, a show like this really can’t be just about entertainment: the price that Christ paid in blood for our salvation as believers would not allow us to sell ourselves for something so cheap as infamy and worldly popularity. The redeemed of the Lord are called by his command in Scripture to be SALT and LIGHT in the world, and HIS command takes precedence over anything man or the world has to offer.

Even if we fall (and everyone does), simply KNOWING The Word is not enough- you still have to do your best to ABIDE in the Word in spite of the fall, not excuse it away, and eventually the concept of repentance HAS to come into play.

I wouldn’t have been so offended by so many instances taking place in the show had I seen people actually humbling themselves at some point, repenting, and trying to be that Salt and Light in the world, or at least towards each other; none of this is just random calls to judgement that I made up out of false indignation, but what we are instructed to do in Scripture. Unfortunately what I saw instead was a lot of people stuck in their flesh (which of course can happen to any Christian) by way of gossiping, lying, coveting, saying God’s commands were not realistic, and ect.

Of course these things can happen to anybody, and of course to those in the body of Christ. Doing whatever he can to dismantle the church and defile the Body of Christ gives the enemy great pleasure and is one of his biggest past times in order to make himself appear mightier than he is, but it was disappointing to see where people were not mature or discerning enough to see how pitting themselves against each other was falling smack dab into that very trap. It was particularly grieving to see how people weren’t even remotely willing to come out of their flesh and go for the Divine in their thoughts, deeds and actions. They were just fine wallowing in their spiritual gutter and throwing out the old stand by about grace and mercy to attempt to cover themselves and their behaviors.

Yes we are to forgive and extend grace and mercy just as Christ did for each and every one of us: but can you at least TRY to open a can of "Ackrite" on your end and have a sip? Cause whether we like it or not, those are the instructions in the Bible. When you think about the global saying that says "The Church is a Hospital"; like any patient, once you’ve gotten your diagnosis for what’s making you broken, while under care why on earth would one persist on doing that which contributes to their malady??? The idea is to go for wholeness and healing, or at least learn how to MANAGE your metaphorical disease or condition; and with the exception of one or two instances I saw no proof of that in this new show.

I also took big issue with the way the interracial couple are being portrayed as being so abnormal. I’m completely puzzled in this day and age how little American Christians know of their own spiritual heritage and it’s roots in Judaism, and how or why they are shocked to find the occasional Jewish believer. Messianic Jews have existed since Jesus walked and still exist in Israel today, although they are shunned from the Jewish community for accepting Christ as the Messiah, the same as Brian Lewis. Christianity began as a sect of Jewish believers accepting Christ as the Messiah, but back to first century AD they were either killed or banished to the outer reaches of the Roman Empire to squash the "Movement". Nowadays, they, like Brian, are just banned from their families and communities instead. Nothing unusual there, folks, and it doesn’t have anything to do with his wife’s race. Had Brian married a nice African Jew from Ethiopia who could trace her lineage back to the original 12 tribes, then his family likely would have been over the moon with joy.

The church is spending so much time focusing on Prosperity teaching instead of salvation, repentance, biblical literacy & historical context, it’s no wonder in many cases we can’t tell the Bride of Christ from a Whore of Babylon…and this show, if not careful, is definitely inching further and further towards the latter. I’m willing to watch further episodes (on youtube) with hopes that God will take control and His glory will be shown. Otherwise, this might simply end up being a cautionary tale for us all in just how far the enemy is advancing into God’s territory (as foretold in Scripture), that we are indeed approaching the last days… and that the "Little Horn" is about to start showing OUT.

If You are not SAVED, SANTIFIED, AND FILLED WITH THE HOLYGHOST you will not get into the kingdom of God!

@Unique Chica, I have 2 daughters that I raised in church and they are both college graduates with no children. I talked with them about sex along with my husband, You can talk to children about sex without doing & saying all that foolishness your pastor was doing, talking about he had VD and who all he was humping & bumping!! You call that decent?? Go sit down some where.

Thank GOD…I thought I was the only one who thought that way! I like the fact that both parents were present, I think it was great that dad represented how easy it is to catch diseases through sex. He showed his girls the proper way to prepare just in case they are with dumb boys. They are not leaving it to the streets and the school systems to teach their children proper sex procedures. It is stupid to not teach kids sex caution at all just because you are a minister because you find more sexing going on in the church house than you do in the whorehouse! Back in the day you could get away with beating around the bush with the sex talk…not this day…you better bring it and bring it RAW AND CORRECT! Not aiming at anyone..just posting a fact since I work with teen mothers in the area.
