Hello Everyone,
I'm writing about a recent purchase the kids made. Jeremiah and Beulah have had a birthday recently and they combined their money and bought a new movie. The "Bee Movie". I wasn't sure what the movie was about but went ahead and let them buy it. It's a cute movie about how hard bees work. But I am increasingly frustrated with the treatment good ol' human beings are receiving from Hollywood these days.
The Bee Movie tells about a bee "coming of age," so to speak. He graduates with pomp and circumstance and then has to choose a career. It is only then he finds out his career is for life, no going back, no changing your mind. He chooses instead to explore the outside world and in so doing has an up-close encounter with humans. Of course, one human is nice and ALL the others are mean. He discovers humans eat honey and is appalled that bees have to work so hard for humans to have something to eat.
He sues the human race for all of the honey. The anti-human aspect of this movie is certainly felt at this point and gets even worse when the lawyer representing the humans has the distinctive ring of a TV evangelist. As you would expect from 21st century Hollywood this character becomes a babbling idiot for all youngsters to make sure NOT to idolize.
Anyway, the bee wins the case and ALL honey production is stopped. The bees become sloppy and the greenery dies. The only human friend to the bee is a florist and she points out the death of the flowers and how it is affecting the humans. Because the bee likes the florist he decides to rally the bee troops and re-pollinate the planet so there will be flowers again. So the bee saves the planet after effectively destroying the original God design. Of course, Hollywood fails to point out that last bit of information for the impressionable youngsters.
It made me think of another movie I had gotten for the kids a couple of years ago, "Happy Feet". The kids watched that movie one time and I refused to allow them to watch it again. It was SO anti-human. The actors actually came out and called humans, "Aliens." The humans were catching fish and because it was making it more difficult for the penguins to get food they considered them, "Aliens".
I know the big "Global Warming" push and all that hullabaloo. I know the way some have decided to become so very concerned about the "footprint" we leave on this planet. I find it all so very "Anti-God". God designed this planet. He set it in motion. He devised the inner and outer workings and he specifically charged man to "have dominion ... over all the earth" (Gen. 1:26).
I've begun to wonder what in the world would the "global warming" alarmist have done or tried to do when Joshua prayed and asked God to hold off nightfall until the battle was won. A whole day. (Read about it in Joshua 10). My, wouldn't that have sent their charts and predictions in a tizzy? Joshua would have been sent to jail at the very least. Actually, I have a tendency to believe the "global warming" alarmist may have problems with their charts and predictions because of Joshua's answer from God. Maybe the flood screws up the whole mess, too. I don't know because I choose to depend on God and rest in knowing He set it in motion and has already told us He will destroy it and make it again.
Now, before you start sending me nasty little emails, please know: I also believe we ARE to be good stewards of what He has given us. I do not think we should litter, over use, etc. the resources we have. I believe we certainly need to find alternative fuel sources and set about recycling as much as possible. But I don't think the Titmouse needs land more than the humans who can put it to good use. I believe the fish were created by God's hand to feed us. And we can certainly share with the penguins. I believe God developed the bee species to be very hard workers and produce honey for humans (and bears).
There is a little known push going on under the surface to start making the kids think about the "footprint" they are leaving on the planet. It is being specifically targeted at having babies. Every baby means a "footprint" and the "footprint" is the thing that is messing up the ozone layer and creating all of the havoc on the planet. The environmentalist who are really pushing this have pointed to China as the example of limiting the negative effects each "footprint" places on the planet. Now, you all know, I have an opinion about this!
Here again, it is such an anti-God approach to the environment. I can give testimony that God Himself spoke to both Mike and myself about letting Him be in charge of how many children we have. It was a very long discussion, pretty ongoing and intense, especially around child 4 and 5. I had some nice long talks with God about what in the world He was doing. He pointed out that the "footprint" each child represented meant a possible eternity with Him. An eternity, non-the-less, one place or another. That there are only a few things that are eternal and "footprints" are one of them. The other thing I learned over and over is that we do not procreate without God's hand giving viability to each and every conception. No matter how hard we try we cannot create another human being, only God does the creating (Psalm 100). Each blessed creation of God is by His hand and is His responsibility. If He didn't want the earth to be able to sustain life then he would cause it to be so no matter if we had a full ozone layer and if we never drove a car in our life. And in the same vein, if He wants life to continue then He will cause this planet to be able to sustain that life.
Hollywood is being used not so much as an entertainment venue any longer as a political venue to promote the "global warming" agenda. Parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles beware. That child's movie that seems so harmless, may in fact, be used to indoctrinate the next generation to enormous anti-God philosophies. It's cute and so subtle, so innocent. Yet, let's remember how Satan deceived Eve. His ways haven't really changed much.
So, feed Hollywood if you must, but PLEASE sit with your children, talk openly about what the Bible says about what the kids are watching. Keep your antennas alert to anti-human fare. I suspect it will only get worse. We have to make sure our children do not fall for the indoctrination that they are responsible for keeping the planet "healthy, wealthy and wise" we ARE NOT God and we do NOT have the capabilities to do God's work. Maybe, Hollywood will wise up but I think it will take God's hand to bring that around as well.
