"It's Too Hot Here"

Okay. I am done being the devil’s advocate. I think William Romanowski has a feasible argument without bringing up anything about this supposed “cultural mandate.” (I found it rather amusing when he states in the introduction, “My analysis begins with an assumption that is clear in Scripture…” saying he has this clear instruction from the Bible, yet calls it an assumption—there by it not being clear. Perhaps I am being too critical, yet I like to poke fun…just like poking the Pillsbury Doughboy.) Anyways, if all Christians are not going to stand against the filth that can be popular culture (Hollywood would have to listen then…), but look to learn how to “discern and evaluate perspectives in these representations of life in God’s world,” Eyes Wide Open does do an adequate job in laying a foundation for viewing, as a key point in this strategy of revolution is being of one mind in interpretation of movies. If we expect to be taken seriously as a strong, informed voice in the industry, we can not have Yankee Doodle’s comments on the latest movie praising it for the way it portrayed ideals and values, but then have Izzy Fashizzy’s comments saying it was a very bad depiction of life in general. Romanowski points out that you have to know what it means to be a Christian first. This involves setting aside petty differences and what past events might have shaped our perspectives, to come together as a body in Christ whose goal is to reach out to the spiritual lost by engaging in popular art to seek the truths in order to mold the good into maps of realty of biblical truths. We can’t set a good example if our maps of truth end up taking you to Kansas instead of Florida. (Who would want to go to Kansas anyways?)
