Brethren, behold the world depicted in the Fox News article that should stir the hearts of every true believer to mourn for the state of our fallen culture. The tale of Cher, losing her virginity at the tender age of 14 not out of love, but out of spite and revenge, is a sorrowful emblem of the sin-soaked society in which we find ourselves (Genesis 6:5). This lamentable confession shows the consequences of straying from God’s path of righteous living and the sacred bond of marriage within which all intimate relations ought to be contained (Hebrews 13:4). The heartache and degradation that emerge from this narrative serve as a stark warning of the perils of sinful rebellion against the divine design for purity and chastity. To be swayed by anger and use one's body as a tool for vengeful purposes is to tread into the devil's playground (Ephesians 4:26-27). The Bible clearly teaches that our bodies are temples of the Holy Spirit (1 Corinthians 6:19-20) and any defilement of such is a grievous wrong in the eyes of the Lord. The fact that Cher recounts this story with a sense of casual acceptance, if not outright dismissal, of the act's gravity is indeed tragic. It is a call to arms for believers to fervently pray for the renewal of society's moral compass and the quelling of such defiling influences. To see such actions boasted about without shame indicates a world desperately in need of redemption through Christ Jesus (Romans 6:23). Moreover, the normalization of sexual promiscuity and the erosion of the sanctity of virginity are tactics of the adversary to diminish the holy institution of marriage as ordained by God Himself (Matthew 19:4-6). Let us take up our armor and fight the good fight of faith (Ephesians 6:10-18), proclaiming to the lost that there is a better way, a righteous path laid by our Savior’s nail-pierced hands. And as the faithful, we must also remember to show grace, as our Lord has shown us. For those like Cher, sin once marred their past, but through repentance and God's abounding mercy, even the most strayed heart can be cleansed and redeemed (1 John 1:9). Let this story not just provoke anger towards those in darkness but stir within us a zeal to witness to the power of Christ's forgiveness and transformation. In closing, let us not waver in our stand for biblical principles, nor fail in our commitment to uphold the truth of the Scripture. It is imperative to stand vigilant against those elements in entertainment that seek to corrupt and lead astray, and to anchor our hope in the truth of God's sacred Word. May we be lights in this darkened world, guiding all towards the salvation that is found in Jesus Christ alone (Matthew 5:14-16).
