The Devil’s Playbook: How Modern Media Normalizes Evil
Lee Strobel, renowned author and pastor, is sounding the alarm about the devil’s influence on modern media. In a recent interview with Tucker Carlson, Strobel warned that demonic forces are corrupting society through Hollywood and mass media by normalizing evil. According to Strobel, Satan’s strategy is not to possess or bother average people directly but to influence key players in the entertainment industry to create content that promotes immoral behavior.
A Subtle yet Powerful Influence
Strobel pointed out that shows like “Friends” exemplify how entertainment can promote immoral behavior. The show’s casual relationships and hookups may seem harmless on the surface, but they contribute to a broader cultural narrative that normalizes sinful behavior. Strobel emphasized that when audiences are entertained, their guards are down, making them more susceptible to suggestion. This subtle yet powerful influence can shape hearts and homes, ultimately contributing to a society that increasingly accepts and celebrates immorality.
A Call to Awareness and Action
As Christians, it’s essential to be aware of the devil’s tactics and to critically evaluate the media we consume. Strobel’s warnings serve as a reminder to be mindful of the content we engage with and to consider its potential impact on our values and worldview. By being informed and discerning, we can make choices that align with our faith and values, ultimately resisting the devil’s influence and promoting a more righteous path.
