Pop Culture

Pop culture is quite fascinating. Here are all the world famous people with their millions, world fame and good looks. They are looked up to, admired and even imitated and often duplicated. They can represent the ideals that people want to aspire to until they fowl up. Than the very people who make them end up breaking them down.

I remember when Brittany first came on the scene. She was a wholesome innocent by standard who shared her Christian faith and being vocal about saving it for marriage. Later she changed and started sucking down the attention and fame and letting the machine called Hollywood and fame compromise her faith. Time went by and all of a sudden she just started melting down. Some say it was self-inflicted and she got what she was asking for... I'm not one of them. I'm one of the few who really feel sorry for her. Not many share my compassion.

She isn't the only one who is experiencing the meltdown. Now Kirsten Dunst is as well. I really feel sorry for these kids. They are someone's daughter, sister and in some cases mother.

I just finished watching Kanye sweep the Grammies. He is one of the few pop personalities I get a rise out of. He's a Jesus lover with obvious imperfections and a deep love for his mother. I get a kick out of his zainy style and his impulsive, unpredictable attitude.

What a picture of Christians. Jesus didn't reject anyone of them. Sure, Christians might have. The world sure has but not the one who holds all men accountable. Not the author of life! Not the God of the living. Not the one who determines all the rules. Not from the one who created love. Thank you Lord. You are the only one who truly understands! The one who is out to create and re birth, to give life and healing. I'm glad Jesus is not as shallow as some Christians, and the world. He understands...

"For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin." (Hebrews 4:15)
