[Steve Myers] Miley Cyrus' performance at the MTV Video Awards kind of turned the entertainment
world upside down. Some have said that Hannah has left Montana. Of course, Miley Cyrus was
the little girl that at one time played the Disney character of Hannah Montana, this kind
of all-American cute little girl. And yet her performance this week some have characterized
as something totally abrasive, something that was immoral, all kinds of adjectives have
been attributed to it. And yet as we look at this scenario, can we really be surprised
in the kind of world that we live in?
You know where do we obtain our values? Where does morality come from? Now this isn't an
accusation against Miley Cyrus. Instead our world accepts these kinds of things. Our society,
even though we say we're a people who believe in God. If you did a survey in America, probably
over 90% of the people would say they believe in God. But there's a problem because the
point is then, yes we may say we believe in God, but do we really believe God? When it
comes to morals, when it comes to our mindset, when it comes to how we look at the world
do we really look to God?
There's a wonderful Proverb that should really set the tone for our world view, for our perspective.
If you look to Proverbs 2:6 here's what it says, it says: "The Lord gives wisdom. From
His mouth come knowledge and understanding."
So if we're really a believing people, we have to look at these kinds of sections from
the Bible and say: If I believe in God, I have to have an understanding where does wisdom
come from? Where does knowledge come from? Where does morality, where does understanding
from? You see it shouldn't come from Hollywood. It shouldn't come from entertainment. It shouldn't
come from the mindset of this world, but instead it's got to come from the pages of this word,
this word of God.
And so if we say we believe in God, let's make sure we don't get tuned into the ways
of this world and this entertainment that surrounds us and invades us. Instead let's
look to the word of God and believe God.
That's BT Daily. We'll see you next time.
