"Harry Potter" star Daniel Radcliffe says his nude scene in the play "Equus" is no big deal.
…That was the headline that launched the Fox news story about the 19 year old Potter star and his new play debuting on Broadway next month.
With recent reports of teen pop stars like Vanessa Ann Hudgens texting nude photos to friends, Jamie Lynn Spears getting pregnant at 16, and even Hannah Montana star Miley Cyrus’ racy magazine photo shoot; it is easy to see how kids can form a nonchalant view of purity & morality.
As one 13 year old girl exclaimed, “it’s no big deal.”
More than ever we – the church – have our work cut out for us. Hollywood, liberal activists, and Hell itself have a definite agenda for our kids and they have worked that agenda faithfully and flawlessly for decades.
The only thing powerful enough to turn the cultural tidal wave is the word of God. It still brings light and shatters darkness (Genesis 1:1-5).
There is something amazing that happens when you mix worship & prayer with the word of God. It creates a threefold cord that is not easily broken; a cord that holds the heart of any person firmly in place and pointed towards Christ.
Across our movement I would like to see a greater emphasis placed on teaching children – not just Bible stories – but the unadulterated word of God. I would like to see a greater emphasis on Children’s Prayer Meetings. I would like to see a bigger push for our children to receive the Holy Ghost.
When we fill our kids full of God, and create that threefold cord of prayer, worship, and the word; then we can smile knowing they are securely fastened and will stay in place no matter how violent the winds of culture blow.
