I think God is against all the showy aspects that is going on, not only on TV, but in the Christian community in general. There seems to be no end to what some will do to impress others. God’s people are supposed to be modest yet I see them getting more and more engulfed in their looks. They are being drawn into what my daughter often refers to as the glamorous gospel. In fact, so many are getting facelifts and makeovers that it makes me wonder if there isn’t some kind of beauty pageant phenomenon going on. They seem to be saying, look at me, I’m Miss America! Are they competing with one another to see who is the prettiest? Who will win the crown? Stay tuned to find out.

Of course, I am only kidding folks! But I guess, when it really comes down to it, I don’t understand what all the fuss is about. These women are already beautiful so why are they trying to fix something that isn’t broken.

But on the other hand—

If something is broken and we can fix it, I think we should. Makeovers are fine and surgery too, when necessary. But, as Christians, how far do we go? It is just my opinion of course, but maybe we should leave out the extreme unless it is deemed necessary. The Bible does not teach self-glorification. And, I believe those that are getting involved in the extreme, when it is not necessary, are hurting their Christian witness. What kind of signal are we sending to the lost? If we tell the sinner, Jesus loves you just as you are, shouldn’t we be held to that same principle? After all, we’re trying to win a spiritual war, not a beauty pageant! Read More, Click Here
