So true! The same goes for the foolishness of Harry Potter, Twilight, and that old show called Sabrina the teenage Witch.
These are all ways that the devil has lulled people into thinking that witchcraft and the occult are okay. None of it is harmless. Tia and Tamera knew better.
I suppose getting another acting gig outweighed the Truth for them.
As far as Mary Mary is concerned, the interview that MrsHaseeb posted above is revealing. It's very sad that they don't choose to see the problem with the secular artists they work with.
Ohhhh, I forgot about that show, 'Sabrina'. Thanks

Another show is "Charmed", the sisters who were witches. All of these are of the occult.
There's something that I cannot get out of my mind. In
Laela's thread about
the nature of the rattlesnake, these words keep resonating in my spirit, it's what the snake said when he bit the little girl who dropped her guard and trusted him...
"You knew what I was when you picked me up"....
As Christians we cannot afford to drop our guard. We cannot push aside what we know is wrong and make excuses for it. What we see in the media are Christians living as the world and 'we' have Christians making excuses for them.
Is it any wonder why a sister's husband is looking at porn, going to strip clubs and drinking and balling with the guys in the club? He's being fed that he doesn't have to change; that he can still live as the world and confess Jesus Christ, yet he is not living for him.
Is it any wonder we have teens rebelling against their parents? They are being fed that they can live as non Christian teens, dress immoderately, give up the goods and not make any effort to live as Jesus calls us to live.
Those piercing words...
"You knew what I was when you picked me up"...
We know that Mary Mary and the others are wrong; we know it the very minute we 'turn them on the tv stations', the minute we hear them speak. They are used by the world, the enemy to mislead others not to change from the world and it's ways.
Even more piercing, Mary Mary and the Mowry's knew that the producers would not be placing them in a show that honoured God or proclaimed Christianity, that would not speak of Jesus Christ as the light of the world. These are shows that promote their 'everyday' lives. If they are Christians, where is God mentioned and exhalted?
They knew who these producers were and what they were about when they accepted the contracts for these shows. A show without the Name of Jesus being honoured.
If it were my show, the world would see Jesus as the highlight of my everyday life. That's not being preachy or forceful. Simply put, it's a life of living with God. In Him we live and breathe and have our being. From the abundance of who and what's in our heart, we speak. That's how a Christian family lives and we have no shame.
I'd so rather hear Jesus say,
"You knew what I was when you picked me up"...
We know what these shows are about when we 'pick them up'. Right or wrong, we have to call them for what they are and not make up excuses for them. Excuses block the power of prayer.
