ROMANS 12:10 Why is This Okay?


Romans 12:10 
" Be Kindly affectionate to one another with brotherly love,in honor giving preference to one another." NKJV 

Surfing the web, flipping the channel on the tube, even walking down the street you run in to it everywhere! Violence, crime,harsh and crude languages in this day and age is unescapable. Today the acceptance of crude humor, media violence and unspeakable crimes is on some level okay in the average social class. Today we have video games with it, blockbuster movies are coated head to toe in it, and the breaking news always has a tragic story! People today have just came to the conclusion that either one of three things; " it's not a big deal." "It's not happening to me so I don't care." or get this one " Everyone is doing it, so it must be OKAY.".... 

But is it really okay? Is perverting and distorting image of marriage and the family unit  that God intended for us, with pornography, homosexuality and divorce? Is that okay? Is throwing way collectively hours upon hours of our life glued to a light-up screen watching movies, playing video games and having a make- believe life on Facebook, Youtube so on in virtual lives, that cause us to ignore the Lord and distort the truths of His word. Not to mention the act of violence, thought and things I don't want to type out or even think about towards other people that rot our world. 

APPLICATION: By armoring myself with the truth of His word, starting at the beginning of my day, through-out my day and falling asleep at night with it engraved one my heart. I need to do this so that the things the world says is "Okay" and it's deprived standards for my life, I can think otherwise. For I am God's Child, and He holds me to a higher standard.
