I know it is SOOOO important to go over and over and over and over and over again how HORRIBLE it was that Ben Affleck is cast as Batman. How TRAGIC.

So, we’ve moved on to more meaningful rants… like Miley Cyrus’s raunchy performance at the VMAs last night. (NOTE: I don’t know who Miley Cyrus is, what VMA stands for, or why I would watch it on TV, but it MUST be serious because it is burning up the internet today!)

Unlike… Syria.

Which is quietly motoring along with chemical weapons attacks on its own people. Which is causing the U.S. to think of a strategy for a “surgical military strike.”

Good thing Miley and Ben are “distracting” us.

We are easily distracted as people in general. As believers, we need to be more on guard. The enemy loves to send us scurrying after shiny objects while we get our eyes off real matters of the Kingdom.

Don’t be this world. Don’t be consumed with the frivolous like this culture. The call of the Kingdom has to mean more. It could mean taking a couple of minutes from your nervous breakdown over Ben Affleck’s situation to pray for the people of Syria. Or the people of Egypt.

It could do some Kingdom good.

You might still have time to go look for those Miley Cyrus videos.

But if you have time for one small video about some insignificant news, have a look.
