Celeb's...Please Zip It!

Celebrities...I beg of you...I implore you...please zip it when it comes to sharing your political rhetoric or your profound take on moral issues. I concur and second Laura Ingraham's advise to "Shut up and Sing".

Folks you have no idea...of rapidly growing list of celebrities whose movies I will never see or music I will not listen to, much less purchase. Your political views are so naive. (I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt when saying naive.) The manner in which you so freely espouse your views, takes ones breath away. For you to believe that any thinking person gives a hoot and a holler about what you think or feel is truly amazing. You are uneducated and lead insular lives...you don't hear other points of view or the reasons behind it. Therefore you don't have to confront or examine your own point of view. The lives you lead...don't even suggest that you have any concern for morality or accountability to a Holy and Righteous God.

Absolutely we live in a free society in which you can freely speak your mind...and support whatever causes you feel are worthy and just. But I beg of you...please stop being so vocal on your political views and the moral issues of the day. God may have blessed you with extraordinary talent...but that doesn't mean you've been gifted with intellectual capabilities, wisdom or discernment.

As you continue to speak up so loudly...my list of people whose work I can never view or listen to again...grows by leaps and bounds. I'm even willing to sacrifice hearing from those few celebrities whose views I do agree with...if it means not hearing from the leftist Celeb's any more.

When I see your movies now...or hear your songs...instead of seeing an intriguing character, a well written story or a hearing a moving song...I remember your outspoken comments on politics or America and how wretched you think we are.

As you continue to speak up...the number of people willing to spend their hard earned cash supporting a celebrity whose political views and life is in complete opposition reality and morality will continue to decline.

For your own sake...for you own financial benefit...Leftist Celebrities...please zip it!

My Colors Will Be Clear

I am a part of the fellowship of the unashamed. I have Holy Spirit power. The die has been cast. I have stepped over the line. The decision has been made. I'm a disciple of His. I won't look back, let up, slow down, back away, or be still.

My past is redeemed, my present makes sense, my future is secure. I'm finished and done with low living, sight seeing, smooth knees, color-less dreams, tamed visions, mundane talking, "chinchy" giving and dwarfed goals.

I no longer need position, promotions, or popularity. I don't have to be right, first, tops, recognized, praised, regarded or rewarded. I now live by presence, learn by faith, walk by patience, lift by prayer, and labor by power.

My face is set, my gait is fast, my destination is heaven, my road is narrow, my way is rough, my companions few. My Guide reliable, my mission clear. I cannot be bought, compromised, detoured, lured away, turned back, deluded or delayed. I will not flinch in the face of sacrifice, hesitate in the presence of adversity, negotiate at the table of the enemy, ponder at the pool of popularity.

I won't give up, shut up, let up, until I have stayed up, stored up, prayed up, paid up, and preached up for the cause of the One that gave me life, drew the line in blood for me in the hour of my destiny.

I am one of Christ's remnant people. I belong to Him and none other. All I do to bring this life to another is done because of that blood covenant poured out for me.

I must go till He comes, give till I drop, preach till all know, and work till He stops me. I must share will all that one more might hear and be drawn from the flaming darkness that longs to consume. Reach for another, touch but one more!

Until that moment...He will have no problem in recognizing me- my colors will be clear!!!

Not only are the words inspiring but so is the man behind them. The above letter was written by a Pastor in Africa who was undergoing severe persecution. On the eve of his execution he sat down and wrote the above note.
