Approved for "Appropriate" Audiences?

Don't you hate it when you get blindsided by a film trailer for a gross movie you'd never actually want to watch? Whether I have the TV on and I can't get to the remote fast enough to change the channel, or I'm trying to stream a video clip online that has sneaky commercials attached, there are times when I accidentally see movie trailers that burn images into my brain that I can't erase. Hate that.  

In fact, it just happened to me recently, which is why I saw a trailer for the movie Legion. Legion is a movie about a fallen angel (demon) who is trying to protect humans from God's wrath. How backwards and messed up is THAT? 

Satan is on a mission to make people think that God is the bad guy. When he tempted Eve to disobey God, he implied that God lied, God was selfish, and God didn't have her best interests in mind (Genesis 3). While watching the preview for Legion, I saw that his strategy hasn't changed much in six thousand years. At one point in the preview, a character named Bob says, "I don't even believe in God." The fallen angel replies, "Bob, he doesn't believe in you, either."  How sad. 

There's a lot of stuff in the media that misrepresents who God really is. Here's the truth about God: 
1. God is love (1 John 4:7, 8). 
2. God would rather die than live without you (John 3:16). 
3. God is completely, totally, one hundred percent devoted to you (Isaiah 49:16; Zephaniah 3:17). 

There will always be movies like Legion that try to mess with our heads. But as long as we know the truth, the truth will set us free (John 8:32).
