The Christian response to Ledger’s death has seen two extremes. There are the “He is burning in Hell” Christians vs. the “All you need is love” Christians. There has to be a middle ground. Derogatory tones do nothing to caste Christianity in a positive light while John Lennon Christianity dilutes the gospel, removing sin from the equation.I am a sinner and you are a sinner. The difference is when somone does not believe he/she is a sinner, living life while flipping God the bird. All of these young stars were wraped up in what this world has to offer and not what God has to offer. They sought pleasure and comfort in the material and lived accordingly. The Bible says quite clearly, “Friendship with the world is hatred toward God.” (James 4:4) There are consequences for our actions.I wish River Phoenix was still around making movies, he was the greatest actor of my generation aside from Johnny Depp. Ledger’s death should be a wake up call for the young and famous. No one is better than another. We are all wretched in our sin. It does not matter how much money you have or how righteous you think you are. All of us will eventually face death.Related Posts:The Warm Fuzzy Church
