What 'cracked me up' last night is when Canadian, Mark Steyn stated (paraphrased) that the only Republican celebrities were Pat Boone and one of the Oak Ridge Boys.
In other words, there are no relevant Republican celebrities, he reasons.
Regardless if whether or not that is true or not, I am Canadian, a moderate conservative and have no horse in this race. But, Steyn has some classic funny spins...
By the way, I stand up to bullies. I have zero desire to bully anyone. I embrace that I live in the democratic West.
I agree with Carlson and Steyn, I reject 'group think'. I am to be led by the Holy Spirit and scripture and other sound sources of truth, to reason through Christian faith, theology and philosophy.
I reason too many celebrities love this world (system), in temporary common grace and comfort and are ignoring the documented finalized future, Kingdom of God.
Jesus Christ did state it was very difficult for the rich to inherit the Kingdom of God (Matthew 19, Mark 10, Luke 18). However, like with any person, it is possible for the rich to be saved by God's grace through faith, not works (Ephesians 1-2).
Crucially...
Philosophically and theologically, there are different kinds and types of success. and becoming a celebrity is a type of success, wealth is a type of success; but knowing the true God of scripture through Jesus Christ, is another far more important kind and type of success. That is the only kind of success that maintains meaningful everlasting life (Revelation 20-22).
