(Garey Ris Photo) | Meditorial By Rev. Jim Paul . Hollywood: in recent years has turned quasi-religious. I say quasi- religious because the films in question really present a twisted and distorted view of God and the Bible. Titles of films, for example, violate : the sanctity of God's name. A film featuring George Burns is entitled "Oh God! Book II" and some of the advertising reads: That's right. I made another movie. You know me, I can't stop creating." Another re- cent California flick called} "The Stuntman" has this line: "If God could do the tricks that we can do, He'd be a happy man". Many folks 'consider this jocular presentation of God in the movies as great fun for the whole family. However, little does Hollywood and the public in general realize, the grave consequences of their actions. Exodus 20:7 clearly commands; "Thou shalt not take the name of the Lord Thy God in vain; for the Lord will not hold him guiltless that taketh His name in vain". : Millions of times a day, the name of the Lord is blasphemed in North America, let alone the rest of the world. By means of our books and films and our glib cursing the blessed name of our God and His Son the Lord Jesus Christ is dragged in the dirt. We have lost all reverance for "the name of the Lord" and soon we'll pay the price. It's not unusual to hear 3 and 4 year olds cursing at each other with filthy language. Not long ago school teachers were severely disciplined if they were caught swearing. Today, it's common place for teachers to defame the name of the Lord right in the classroom. I suppose the most destructive bit of cursing comes from the clergy, the men of the cloth, who in spite of their position, frequently bring Jesus down for an untimely visit. Dear friend, the only sure way that your mouth can be totally freed from the bondage of cursing is by becoming a new person on the inside. I trust you won't be standing in line behind Hollywood when God's judgment falls on North America.
