In Praise of Hollywood Today's Three-minute Bible Study Print, Study and Apply Title: In Praise of Hollywood------------------------------ Date: 1/30/2001 Keywords: "forgiveness" "sex" "zealots" Welcome to eXXit, the web site designed to help you stand strong in the face of sexual temptation. Passage: Luke 7:47* Therefore, I tell you, her many sins have been forgiven -- for she loved much. But he who has been forgiven little loves little. Questions 1. What does Jesus mean in this passage?   2. How does the message apply to us?   Practical help Despite its many faults, Hollywood falls into line with Jesus on one point: the relative evils of religious zealots and sexual sinners. For what would a movie (or the gospels) be without the characterization of heartless believers and hookers with hearts of gold? Jesus' gentleness about sexual matters should comfort those of us who fall prey to pornography. So if you're in the dumps about your latest slip, remember this: Jesus has a soft spot for your particular problem. Modern-day Pharisees will need to look elsewhere for encouragement. eXXit homepage Index of three-minute studies Copyright 2001 by eXXit *Scriptures are from The Holy Bible: New International Version © Copyright 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society.
