"Don't be stupid, God is not mocked"...

Dear Christian, think about what it means to engage in collective humor concerning God and the Bible.

Sure enough, we've come across videos, posts on social media regarding humor meant to lighten people up.   Many times, religion or Christianity is the brunt of the jokes, and sometimes, the motive isn't even "intended" to be bad or insulting.

However, because of the culture we live in, superficial humor concerning God and the Bible should never be taken lightly. 

Unlike what we've seen with Muslim terrorists, no true Christian would ever find it within their place to physically lash out at any false characterization of God because God can defend Himself, and already has.   But it's improper to engage in superficial humor concerning God, Christianity and Christian doctrine because of the God-less culture we're living in. 

It's obvious that we're not living in a God-fearing culture but instead we're living in an ever-descending morality-stricken culture.   And since there is so much ignorance and denial of what is clearly taught in the Bible, to make light of ignorance or false characterizations of Christianity is literally to become one with God haters and deniers.   

Instead, we're supposed to be reaching out into the world to rip people apart from eternal darkness, and spreading the Gospel of Christ. 

Mockery of God in any extent is the opposite of bringing souls to Christ.  The Gospel is said to be "foolishness to those who are perishing", therefore, mocking Christianity is shooting oneself in the foot, and allowing your neighbor to chuckle their way into damnation. 

A "Christian" who aligns him/herself with people who mock God in any way takes lightly the blood Jesus shed on the cross for their depraved sins.  

There's nothing funny about an eternal life without God, and when we foolishly make light of God, we're lying about His true holiness, love for the world and we're helping those around us desensitize their hearts to God.    

God will hold us accountable.   Making light of God in any way defames Him, blasphemes Him, and demonstrates how we we ourselves hold God in our hearts.  


"Don't be fooled, God is not mocked; for whatever you sow, you'll also reap".
