Episode 1,504 - Jesus answers Billie Eilish: what she was made for - a reaction video. (AUDIO & VIDEO)

Listen To Episode 1,504

 I can’t even remember how I came to hear ‘Bad Guy” by Billie Eilish. It has caused me to want to respond to her. I had initially listened to her music in an attempt to relate to my daughter, but once I really listened to the lyrics in this song, I realized how horrific it was. Then, I heard another song by Billie Eilish. We have the opportunity to speak into young people’s lives by using popular culture and this is what we have the opportunity to do with this song. When I first heard “What Was I Made For”, my heart melted and then it pained me. I delve into what God made Billie Eilish for. It is mostly from His word that I want to address this. We ruminate on this: we were made for something and it is not to become a sex toy to others. 

What does God’s Word say? 

Mark 16:1-8

1When the Sabbath was over, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices so that they might go to anoint Jesus’ body. 2 Very early on the first day of the week, just after sunrise, they were on their way to the tomb 3 and they asked each other, “Who will roll the stone away from the entrance of the tomb?”

4 But when they looked up, they saw that the stone, which was very large, had been rolled away. 5 As they entered the tomb, they saw a young man dressed in a white robe sitting on the right side, and they were alarmed.

6 “Don’t be alarmed,” he said. “You are looking for Jesus the Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen! He is not here. See the place where they laid him. 7 But go, tell his disciples and Peter, ‘He is going ahead of you into Galilee. There you will see him, just as he told you.’”

8 Trembling and bewildered, the women went out and fled from the tomb. They said nothing to anyone, because they were afraid.

Luke 12:4-7

4 “I tell you, my friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body and after that can do no more. 5 But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear him who, after your body has been killed, has authority to throw you into hell. Yes, I tell you, fear him. 6 Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? Yet not one of them is forgotten by God. 7 Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.

Proverbs 31:25-31

25 Strength and dignity are her clothing,

    and she laughs at the time to come.

26 She opens her mouth with wisdom,

    and the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.

27 She looks well to the ways of her household

    and does not eat the bread of idleness.

28 Her children rise up and call her blessed;

    her husband also, and he praises her:

29 “Many women have done excellently,

    but you surpass them all.”

30 Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain,

    but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised.

31 Give her of the fruit of her hands,

    and let her works praise her in the gates

Episode 1,505 - How to manufacture a society of psychopaths (AUDIO & VIDEO)

Why would you want to manufacture psychopaths? Well, psychopaths can be really helpful, especially in a cultural revolution. They need people to do cruel things, like shut the food supply, or rat out your neighbors for bad think. It isn't even my idea, the credit goes to Chairman Mao. What do we see at colleges and universities across the country? Young people are putting their professors on trial; eerily similar to Mao’s cultural revolution. You raise a generation of psychopaths by programming them to expect certain things so they won’t look deeper into what is actually going on. 

What does God’s Word say? 

John 10:20 ESV 

Many of them said, “He has a demon, and is insane; why listen to him?”

1 Peter 5:8 ESV  

Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.
