I would like to start this with - I really have no idea what is going on when it comes to that world (the Hollywood one, I guess). But it has come to my attention, via facebook feeds that Charlie Sheen is something of note lately, and since a lot of my church going friends were posting videos and what not, I bought into the peer pressure and watched an interview involving him, and this is kind of my way to say that in my heart, I am disappointed with a few of your comments.
From my understanding based off of the comments relating to him on Facebook, I was under the impression that he did something humorous and my heart broke for him as I watched the interview. So many have found things he has said to be laughed at, humorous and encouraged - my heart doesn't see that. I see a man who has been so blind sighted by the media and the Hollywood culture that his feet are not on the ground. His statements are laced with more pride than I have seen in a person in a long time and my heart breaks for him. This is not someone who needs to be encouraged in his ways to believe that he is someone greater than everyone else on the planet. He needs to hear the gospel, he needs to realize the brevity of life - that it is but a mist, vanishing quickly. My heart breaks for his soul that has been so taken captive by a "me" centered Hollywood. Christians - instead of laughing and finding entertainment in what was said, we need to remember that he is a glorified sinner - lost in this chaotic world and needs just as much prayer as your no-name neighbor who is living for himself.
My brothers and sisters, please, remember to pray for the lost - they need encouragement, but they need encouragement to seek after the LORD, not after themselves.
