Name Tags: You are… Redeemed
For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.
John 3:16 (NKJV)
Knowing that you were not redeemed with corruptible things, like silver or gold… but with the precious Blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot.
1 Peter 1:18-19 (NKJV)
Most people don't know they live in bondage. Nevertheless, they're attached to time bombs pulling them closer and closer to death.
The bomber is Earth's king of con, Satan, who wraps up his destructive devices inside of cleverly wrapped temptations, including most of media’s channels.
His cons began with Eve and a fruit tree. Her bite caused a pandemic infection. Later, Abram birthed a tribe God would free, but most of them couldn't follow his lead. Therefore…
The serpent conned, bit, and bound them as well.
At just the right time, Jesus, the Wonder of wonders, arrived!
God’s Captain waged a brilliant strategy. He utterly defeated the devil, his principalities and his powers:
Not for Himself. Christ is the King of kings. He conquered Satan, sin and death… FOR US!!
With the price of His Life, He redeemed us. Thus, our bondage and subjection ended. We are ransomed, cured, cleaned, clothed and made new… IF we believe and follow our Savior.
Actors, models, and talent for Christ:
Believing is easy for small children. As such, you must safeguard your innocence. But concurrently, you’re called to “grow up” and represent your King in media.
Here’s the strategy:
Wise up! Become as cunning as serpents, Master the field’s rules. Avoid its pitfalls… as you rise and shine like beacons of light.
Love everyone! Be as gentle as doves. This completely effective action plan can’t be understood by a rigid church, but YOU WERE CREATED to play this role.
Nevertheless, in the doing of it, always remember the price Jesus paid! Never be swayed by Hollywood's idols and never bite the bait to become one.

NOTE: God is my Ghostwriter. If what I write is good, it’s from God. You may see notes to 'Actors, Models & Talent for Christ.' If you think you're not in show business, think again. Shakespeare said, 'All the world's a stage and all its men and women merely players.’ Mostly true. But you're not merely players. You are messengers and ambassadors for the King of kings.
