Jollyblogger: <\/a> in a post entitled \u2018Jessica Simpson \u2013 Hottest of the Hotties, and Christian Role Model?\u2019 states<\/p>\n

\u201cRather than being a total world and life view, for these stars Christianity has become one compartment of their lives, which doesn\u2019t necessarily influence any other compartment.<\/em><\/p>\n

And, lest we be guilty of picking of casting stones at stars like Jessica and Beyonce, let\u2019s not forget that this \u2018dis-integrated\u2019 faith is not only found in Hollywood. This \u2018dis-integration\u2019 is found in football players who are honored for their faith on one day and visit a prostitute the next, in preachers who cheat on their wives, in businessmen who profess faith on Sunday and cheat on their taxes Monday, and in millions of people who want to accept Jesus as their savior but not as their Lord.<\/p>\n

In saying all of this, I hope not to come across as saying that Jessica Simpson or Beyonce are evil, or worse than the rest of us. Ultimately, all of us have a \u2018dis-integrated\u2019 faith to some degree. Each of us has areas in our lives where our practice does not match our profession.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
