We Will Survive

This past Sunday night the MTV Video Music Awards was televised on national TV. A man by the name of Russell Brand was the emcee and was making jokes onstage before thousands of people and bashed the Jonas Brothers by mocking them for wearing purity rings.

Now, I understand the Jonas Brothers are THE most popular singing group amongst the younger generation. Nick, Joe and Kevin Jonas wear their purity rings as a commitment to remain virgins until they marry. To use them as he did for a laugh is incredulous to me! And they were sitting there in the audience! Shame on the people who laughed. Shortly after those remarks, Jordan Sparks, 2007 winner of American Idol got up to present an award. She also wears a promise ring and defended the Jonas Brothers and was cheered. Later in the show he "apologized" to the Jonas Brothers who were sitting in the audience, unsmiling. He said "I've gotta say sorry because I said them things about promise rings; that was bad of me..it's just, you know, a bit of sex once in awhile never hurt anybody."

I have just one thing to say, "But what does God say?"

"Know ye not that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind, nor theives, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners, shall inherit the kingdom of God." 1 Cor. 6:9-10
