And when we do, the world will sometimes praise us and tell us how good we are and that feeds our pride instead of our humility. It is easy to be seduced and to be led away from the Lord. Hollywood and the rest need our prayers. They have been so blessed and in such a great position to do good but they don't - with God's help they still can. They can be the prodigal son.Philiphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00220466657069134457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5117062295073169598.post-63933693229825789072010-02-13T00:18:00.904-07:002010-02-13T00:18:00.904-07:00It is in our times of weeping, being poor, etc. wh...It is in our times of weeping, being poor, etc. when we realize we are not in control, and we rely on God. In the good times, we are tempted to think we have it under control. That we have accomplished great things on our own, that we can forget about God. It is when we believe these lies that we are in trouble, which is exactly why Jesus gave us the beattitudes.<br />Yes, Hollywood is a mess. I need to remember to pray for them more. We can also make a difference by putting our money where our morals are: let's not support immorality in movies, and entertainment. It is only when their pocketbooks are affected that they might possibly make changes. Like us all if things are going smoothly, we are not as likely to seek Him first.Tamihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13545454885908647405noreply@blogger.com
