I was reading a little bit about Tennessee Ernie Ford on
Wikipedia. He hosted "Ford
Theatre" in 1955-56. One fact stood
out to me: "Ford's program was
notable for the inclusion of a religious song at the end of every show; Ford
insisted on this despite objections from network officials who feared it might
provoke controversy. This became the most popular segment of his show."
This battle that the entertainment and news professions have
had against anything relating to Christianity has been going on for
DECADES! Movies and TV shows have become
increasingly vulgar and immoral (all in the name of freedom of
speech/press). Yet anyone standing up
for Christian principals are mocked, castigated, or worse. Right is wrong and wrong is right. Reminds me of a few scriptures:
Psalms 31:17-19 Let
me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be
ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave. Let the lying lips be put to
silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the
righteous. Oh how great is thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that
fear thee; which thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons
of men!
Proverbs 17:15 He
that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are
abomination to the LORD.
Isaiah 5:20-24 Woe
unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and
light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter! Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes,
and prudent in their own sight! Woe unto
them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:
Which justify the wicked for reward, and
take away the righteousness of the righteous from him! Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble,
and the flame consumeth the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and
their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the
LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
