Please read this guys, I want your opinion on this article. I think I find this article really disturbing. What do you think? The recent premiere of HBO's Game of Thrones drew a record-setting 10.1 million viewers. Coupled with digital viewers, the show averaged 25.1 million viewers last year. It was by far the most-watched show on television, nearly double the viewers of the second-place show. Why is Game of Thrones so astoundingly popular? What does its popularity say about us? I must begin with a disclaimer: I have never seen Game of Thrones, for reasons I'll explain in today's article. But internet reviews are so abundant that it's not hard to identify reasons for the show's enormous popularity. Each of them says something frightening about our culture today. One: The plots are unpredictably complex. As Forbes notes, "Central characters are killed, psychopaths claim power, weddings become bloodbaths and bad guys develop consciences as time passes." The show is built on the premise that there is no logic to life, that we live in a chaotic world with no central purpose or direction. Two: The show embraces amorality. "Good" characters make horrific mistakes, while "bad" characters act redemptively. One psychologist lauds the "progressive tolerance" the show legitimizes. In a postmodern culture that views all truth as personal and subjective, the characters legitimize our rejection of right and wrong. Three: All sexuality is endorsed. Rape, lesbianism, sex between siblings, prostitution and other acts so despicable I won't mention them here—all are regular fare. As millions of people watch such perversion, they are desensitized and far more likely to embrace the "sexual liberation" the show articulates. Four: Violence is normalized. Heads are crushed, people are stabbed through the eye, victims are burned alive, mass murder is depicted graphically. Why is this a problem? Exposure to media violence is clearly linked to violent acts as watching violence changes brain patterns and alters behavior. What would God say to Christians tempted to watch such ungodliness? One: Guard your heart. Scripture teaches us to "Keep your heart with all vigilance, for out of it are the issues of life" (Prov. 4:23). We are commanded to "think on" whatever is "pure" (Phil. 4: . Our thoughts determine our actions, which determine our lives (Prov. 23:7).Two: Guard your witness. Our skeptical culture looks for reasons to reject our faith. If we are ungodly, how can we call others to be godly? "A truthful witness saves lives" (Prov. 14:25, ESV). Three: Guard your relationship with God. Would you want your parents to watch you as you watch the nudity and violence depicted on Game of Thrones? Your heavenly Father sees all that you see. His Spirit lives in you and is subjected to whatever your experience. "Do not grieve the Holy Spirit" (Eph. 4:30, MEV). Jesus taught us, "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God" (Matt. 5: . Thus, we can see Game of Thrones, or we can see God, but we cannot see both.

Former President Olusegun Obasanjo, on Tuesday publicly begged the General Overseer of the Redeemed Christian Church of God for forgiveness. Obasanjo said he sinned against the cleric for not informing him before attending the public presentation of a book, “Pastor E. A. Adeboye: His Life and Calling”, at the auditorium of the RCCG Youth Centre, Redemption Camp, on the Lagos/Ibadan Expressway. OBJ, who was the chairman of the event, described Pa Adeboye as “a man who has touched more lives in the country more than politicians.” He added that it was the wife of the General Overseer that invited him, without the knowledge of the husband, asking that G.O should forgive them for this. Obasanjo said, “I was told not to reveal my coming here by Mummy (Adeboye’s wife). How can I come to you without calling you? But, that was the instruction. “Until I am in this hall, I never saw anything about this programme. That means we have committed sins by keeping this secret from you and we seek for forgiveness from you and I am sure we have been forgiven.” Obasanjo, who noted that politicians were supposed to influence the lives of the masses positively, said Pastor Adeboye had done more than politicians in this regard. He said, “As politicians, we are supposed to touch lives, but, for Pastor Adeboye, he has touched more lives than politicians. He has been a man of God with a difference, whom I benefited from personally when I was consulting to contest the 1999 election.” http://dailypost.ng/2017/08/15/obasanjo-begs-pastor-adeboye-forgiveness/

I am 25 years of age. The previous topic is not about me. |
Dear NLs, I am a 25 year old male with a big challenge that has gone way out of hand and I have no clue of what to do. I moved into a BQ few months back and ever since then, i have always been admiring my landlady though married with 3 children. Her husband is hardly around and comes around once every two weeks. She seems to be a very nice person because every time I greet her, she responds with so much excitement. Sometimes she gives me leftover of whatever she cooks. I don't know men. I don't want to go far because she is married. What do I do now? |
I have a car funny enough but i don't get it. I am scared that I may not marry at this rate. ![]() |

OMG! I am having issues in getting babes men. The matter no be here ooo! Kai! I don chyke babe taya but the responses I have been getting are not encouraging at all. Men! I can't go on with this dry spell and loneliness. Nairalanders! what should I do? This is becoming a big concern. I have a good job, well traveled, I am neat, organized and above all I am a good dresser. It's quite sad that with all my good features and high level of exposure, finding a woman has become more of a challenge to me. Please help me, I am lonely and sad. Who did I offend? ![]() |
. Our thoughts determine our actions, which determine our lives (Prov. 23:7).
