All Things: Are Meant To Unite

We know that all things work together for good to those who love God, to those who are the called according to His purpose.

Romans 8:28 (NKJV)

Some of you know Shine’s unique history (which happens to be my history, too:)

  • How a New York fashion model met a World War ll fighter pilot (and they wed).

  • How the fashion model once dreamed she’d be an evangelist (and we are).

  • How decades later, her dream became true. Their UNION not only gave birth to me. Their UNION gives Shine a cool storyline.

In thinking about WWll’s horrors, including the attempted genocide of the Jews (starting with those in Europe), the U.S. was, at first, apathetic. Only Pearl Harbor, a hometown horror, softened hard hearts. The blow UNITED American hearts.

Actors, models, and talent for Christ, here's my point:

The horrors of war are happening now. Again, most of us are apathetic, while a significant minority see, pray, donate, and help as they best can.

But let’s think of a new kind of horror: one born and bred in our star-spangled states. It’s happening every day, everywhere.

Lost lambs are misled by entertainment, because lost sheep (parents) were misled first.

Both follow squads of American stars in film, fashion, music, and theatre. But without God-inspired direction, these stars aren’t leaders people should follow.

How did the American church respond? Division!

  • Many angry pastors ranted and raved. They told talented Christians, “Don’t go there!!” (which is not what THE Rock Star said or did).

  • Even more pastors were apathetic. They didn’t see it as a mission field (even though Christ said, “Go into the world.”)

Actors, models, and talent for Christ:

As Christ now commands, you’re now UNITED, rising and shining… His brave and talented ambassadors in the worldwide fields of Entertainment. By your leading acts of love, joy, and peace, apathy is blown out of the water.

You're like a spiritual Pearl Harbor, overriding the bad with star power (specifically, Jesus within you)... toward the ultimate goal of UNITY– that every lost sheep with find the Shepherd.

All Things: Are Meant To Unite (Part 22, Conclusion)

NOTE: God is my Ghostwriter. If what I write is good, it’s from God. You may see notes to 'Actors, Models & Talent for Christ.' If you think you're not in show business, think again. Shakespeare said, 'All the world's a stage and all its men and women merely players.’ Mostly true. But you're not merely players. You are messengers and ambassadors for the King of kings.
