This is a current offer, for your viewing pleasure: “A Netflix Film: EXTREMELY WICKED; SHOCKINGLY EVIL AND VILE.”

In our day it is popular to call evil either good, a disease, or a reason to be proud. Recently I was quickly “corrected” for calling drunkenness evil – instead of a disease. But lest you feel I am the first person to be so confronted, consider the Prophet Isaiah. Israel, God’s choicest, self-planted, vine was producing bad fruit (Isaiah 5:1-7). So, God lists their six sins and judgments: Greed; drunkenness; deceit; twisting truth; arrogant; & no justice (Isa.5:8-24). Specifically, in twisting the truth God says through Isaiah: “Woe to those who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter” (5:20 -ESV)!

Isn’t it crazy how we can be so vocally involved in determining the right or wrong of a Horse Race but then are silent against the prevailing evil of our day? Are we perhaps failing to “interpret the signs of the times” (Mt. 16:3)?

Friend, why would Netflix ever think anyone would want to watch a movie that is “extremely wicked, shockingly evil, and vile”?

Our Father in Heaven – protect your born-again children from the evil one. Help us to always be your positive bright shining beacons of hope. Through Jesus Christ we pray … and the church said … AMEN!
