What Are You Seeking? - Blog Posts

There is a way that seems Right

Yes, there is a way that may seem right to our eyes but the end of that way is death, (Proverbs 14:12) a spiritual death also; for when we become friends of this world (by spending time with things that are dead) we become enemies of God. (James 4:4)

I have observed greatly how on this very site anime is praised and glorified. It is exalted as something great but beloved will you follow this too? Will you approach and seek after that which is dead, which does not fill your soul? I know and can say that colors are beautiful and very delightful; however colors on a frame or on a wall make it no more living and life changing than it was before. It may give the illusion of life and it will please your eyes for sure, but that is only it.

Anime is a parade of colors forming lines and shapes to make characters, being filled with precious colors but it is only an image. They have eyes but they do not see; ears they have but they do not hear. They have hands but they do not clap.

When Mary Magdalene and Joanna, and Mary the mother of James came to the tomb of Jesus, thinking He was still dead, there an angel met them and said to them: “Why seek ye the living among the dead?” (Luke 24:5)

Why should we seek those things in the world which we know will never fill us when we have Jesus Christ the living One? The World will always seek new and current things to fill their hearts but their hearts will never find rest; seeking and seeking but never meeting a point of contentment.

May we who follow Jesus Christ abstain from anime and from all forms of vanity that only entertain the mind but leave our soul and heart empty.

Do we know the full benefits of Jesus Christ? Do we know His Living Presence when we seek His face? How about suffering through trials? Do we after the trial feel the comforting feeling of the Holy Ghost which surpasses our understanding? May we draw closer to Christ and further from the world that we may be fully filled with the Life that is in Christ Jesus. Amen
