Excuses can be made....lies can be told but God knows and sees all. He will surely judge.

The Darker the World the Brighter we must let the Light of Jesus Shine. Blessed Days...

[Emg]

"Woe to those who call evil good
and good evil,
who put darkness for light
and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet
and sweet for bitter!
Woe to those who are wise in their own eyes,
and shrewd in their own sight!
Woe to those who are heroes at drinking wine,
and valiant men in mixing strong drink,
who acquit the guilty for a bribe,
and deprive the innocent of his right!

Therefore, as the tongue of fire devours the stubble,
and as dry grass sinks down in the flame,
so their root will be as rottenness,
and their blossom go up like dust;
for they have rejected the law of the Lord of hosts,
and have despised the word of the Holy One of Israel. (Isaiah 5:20-24)

I'm a Jew and I'm offended by their disrespect to my Christian friends.

Right when I started feeling hopeless, I come across this video. Thank you, Lord.

They can deny that they were blaspheming Christ and His followers, all they want, but we know their hate for God and for His people. This is what they do, slander, blaspheme and spread woke hate. They actually think that because others have shown this sort of disrespect and filthy hatred for the sacred, and what is sacred to others that, that makes it all ok?

I was offended by the Olympic opening ceremony depicting the Last Supper; I’m an atheist.

Depravity is on display. Tolerance of evil begets more evil.

"The wicked freely strut about when what is vile is honored among men" (psalm 12:8)

2 Tim 3
"But mark this: There will be terrible times in the last days. People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people."

This is by far the best video I’ve seen on this topic

[shanons]

I needed these reminders. My first instinct is to fret and be angry. You focus on God and what He has told us to expect and how to live in this fallen world. I know these things but thank you for the loving True reminder ❤

[gemmap]

Your finally making these videos again. Praise God. This was truly missed and is still needed. Thankyou Martyn.

[craftykass]

Love the way you have always used scripture to discern and encourage us on how to tackle issues the Christian way. Bless you, brother Martyn.

Haven't watched the Olympics in years. Doesn't even interest me anymore.

There are those who hate the one who upholds Justice in court and detest the one who tells the truth. Amos 5:10

[KSAalto]

Rule 50.2 of the Olympic Charte strictly prohibits political, religious or the racial propaganda that we witnessed: "No kind of demonstration or political, religious or racial propaganda is permitted in any Olympic sites, venues or other areas."

[kikit]

just ignore. them ridiculing & mocking God doesn’t change the truth. And pray for these people who are lost and in so much pain

Sick world we live in and in desperate need of salvation

[rachelpreston]

This is the absolute best breakdown and explanation of the offense and sin that was on display at the Olympics. Thank you for this! I’ve watched several videos and listened to several conservative podcasters condemn it and give their explanations why it was so awful but none of them did it as clearly. I find this incredibly helpful for me and now I feel more prepared to defend my position against those people in my life who think I’m being overly reactive and sensitive. Thanks again!
