Today I went to the local grocery store to pickup some donuts for breakfast. While I was standing in line I noticed US Weekly, the celebrity news magazine. This is one of the most amazing parts of our society, an entire magazine devoted to the lives of stupid celebrities who "can't find love" or "look fabulous on the runway" or as Tara Reid said in the most recent US Weekly "I will never be perfect again". It's just so sad that this drunk, druggy, overly partied, and overly sexed celebrity will never be the same again. I was so sad that I nearly cried...
I was so sad because it is such a commentary on our society. There are hundreds of magazines that deal primarily with celebrity news. There are 4 major TV shows that only deal with celebrity news not to mention an entire channel devoted to the worship, errr I mean love of celebrities (E! Entertainment Television). It's sad that American Society follows so closely the lives of people who say things like "if you don't love yourself, no one else is going to love you. It's about me loving myself" (Tara Reid's story, you've got to read this, click here).
What really kills me is that we value the opinions of morally inept people more than the words of the Living God. AND if you are reading this and thinking "YEAH, You're Right!" But value the opinion of Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity or Al Franken more than the Scriptures you are in the same boat.
The Words of Life are ancient, they are powerful, and they should be the commentators on our society.
