I was watching TV tonight and was just reflecting on the constant amount of stories that come out of Hollywood. Few with good character as the base. Many with confused morals and dark characters as the heroes.
What makes a good story?
I read the Scripture and see the stories of God. Many also deal with the low morals of people and the lostness of man. The difference is these stories are real and give us an in depth look into the heart of our Creator. We learn real truth.
Hollywood is amusement. Amusement is an activity that keeps you busy but has no real purpose. Like an amusement park's ferries wheel going around and around yet going no where. The Bible is entertainment. Entertainment is the ability to grab hold of you and not let you go until the story is told. Hollywood tries to be entertainment but comes in as amusement in real life.
We all like a good story. Be the story.
John 10:10 The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.
