I like to think of Glee as an indicator of American mentality. I read so many comments on Facebook about the Grilled Cheesus episode from fellow Christians who were super offended by it, and that's okay.<br /><br />I just kept shaking my head when I saw it, not because I was offended, but because it made me sad. Once again we had an example of worship of the created instead of the Creator. Now, I know the chances of someone actually going to Finn in the show and steering him in the right direction by telling him the Gospel were nil. Totally wasn't going to happen in a mainstream popular tv show. But my question was how many people around us do we know that are like Finn in that regard? Not saying that people are actually out there praying to grilled cheese sandwiches, although I honestly wouldn't be surprised, since weirder things have been idolized. ;)<br /><br />But anyway, my thought was this: If this is any indicator as to how American non-Christians are thinking, what are we who call ourselves believers going to do about it? Just sit back and gripe because we're offended by the unbelievers' unbelief? Or are we really going to be who we say were are and don our armor, grab our swords, take a stand for righteousness, and speak out the Truth of the Gospel of our Savior until the whole world hears it?<br /><br />I feel like I'm rambling, so I really hope this comment makes sense. Haha! Anyway, I guess what I'm basically trying to say is that if Glee's really the indicator I think it is, we have our work cut out for us as Christians.Karenhttp://facebook.com/karen.tucker42noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3263854726392102311.post-61290852330803004512011-07-26T07:30:13.390-05:002011-07-26T07:30:13.390-05:00Really good post, Bethany.

I would just add that parents should be even more discerning with their children, even up through the teen years. Their values are being solidified and challenged at every age and they don't have a discerning filter yet in place in which to set apart the bad from the good. Making the world's values a part of their daily diet can have ramifications in making godly choices later in life as the contrasts between God's principles and worldly thinking can become very muddied. Thanks for the thoughtful review!Pamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15337632624145476567noreply@blogger.com
