I Feel Bad For Lindsey Lohan

As most people know, Lindsey Lohan, who just turned 21, was recently arrested for drunk driving... AGAIN. Plus, the genius had cocaine in her pocket (what was she thinking after getting out of rehab 10 days ago?).

Ultimately, we are all responsible for our own actions. However, her family didn't do much to help her stay out of the condition that she is in. Her dad has been in and out of prison for securities prison, mom was her manager, and her parent's divorce wasn't all too amiable.

She most likely will follow the Paris Hilton route and spend some time in jail. That may be the best for her. I'm not sure. However, there are so many stars that get into drugs and partying that never make it into old age... Marilyn Monroe, Anna Nicole Smith, River Phoenix...

What good is it, if you gain the whole world, but lose your own soul? I don't know what Lindsey Lohan's faith is like, but she doesn't show too much fruit. She has been frittering away her fame and wealth in the temporary pleasures of Hollywood and partying. Some day, none of that will matter. All that will matter is what you do to glorify God. So I feel bad for her. Because she is on a self-destructive path, without seeming to take care of what matters most: her soul.

How To REALLY Anger A Moslem

I've been listening to The Way of the Master Radio a lot lately. They've been talking about blasphemy a lot, and most people, even the ones that say that they are Christians, would go see a movie that had blasphemy in it. I personally am not sure how I stand on that subject. Of course, I do not like blasphemy, but it's a little hard not to find a movie without it. I don't find too many movies that I like nowadays anyway.

One of the arguments that they use is, would you go see a movie if they used your mom's name as a cuss word? Well, I probably would. I would find it a little silly, however.

While working at a day care center once, I had a coworker that would always take the Lord's name in vain. It was really bothersome. She would say it around the two year olds all the time. As a parent, I would have been irate if my 2 year old had ended up picking that up from their day care teacher. Fortunately, she didn't stay at the center very long.

But all this thinking about blasphemy got me to thinking... what would the reaction be if I started blaspheming Allah? I am not one of those people that think that Allah and Jehovah are the same God. They don't even have the same character traits. How would people react if I started saying "Allah damn it!" all the time? I suppose that I would really anger a few people. I might even earn myself a death threat if I said it around the wrong person.

While I don't think that Christians should go around threatening people who use the Lord's name in vain, it's something to think about. It should bother us when people around us blaspheme the Lord. Maybe we should speak up when we hear it. Or think twice about seeing a movie with blasphemy in it.

If you are interested in speaking up to Hollywood about their use of blasphemy in films, you can visit Hollywood And God.com and let your voice be heard. You can also check out the blasphemy content in movies.
