I confess that I didn’t watch any of this year’s Grammy award ceremony except for the one tribute to Christine McVie and all the other musicians we lost this year. I didn’t see the infamous part where Sam Smith wore a top hat with devil horns on it.

I’ve often wondered why believers get so riled up when lost people act . . . well, lost. Why do we expect people who don’t know Jesus and don’t have the Holy Spirit inside of them to live Christian lives? Do we think that the Christian faith is merely about having better morals and nothing else?

I’m not suggesting that we should endorse music or movies that promote evil. I am suggesting that maybe we also don’t need to promote it by constantly drawing attention to it and going on about how horrible it was and how deeply offended we were by it.

Wouldn’t we be better off to promote the positive aspects of our faith instead? People aren’t drawn to Christ by learning what we’re against but what and who we’re for.

These are just my own thoughts. I don’t speak for anyone else. I admit that I could be wrong and I’m willing to keep an open mind. I know that Jesus loves Sam Smith and Kim Petras as much as He loves me or anyone else. I know that God is not willing that either of them should perish and be lost but that both of them come to repentance and saving faith in Jesus.

That’s what I’m really hoping and praying for.
