Hope you don't mind if I share my opinion!<BR/><BR/>For starters, I think chick-flicks are largely the product of a lost and hurting world. Reason being that girls watch them for fulfillment in an area they misunderstand. The princess is always rescued by the prince. This is very basic desire that is part of God's design for women. But as most girls have fallen fathers who fail at training them in the fear and nurture of the Lord, the little girls grow up to be women who don't know that Christ is the prince and that earthly men will not hold up to that perfect standard. With that in mind it seems that these movies are designed to tap into the woman's desire for this saving relationship, except that it always takes that fleshly turn for the physical. The Bible seems to point to true fulfillment in a man-woman relationship coming from Christ. Her beauty and submission playing the role of His Body the Church, while the man's headship, selfless leadership and faithful love act out Christ's love for them both. The worldly people in these movies can only conceive of a broken fulfillment in fleeting romance, whipped up emotions, sexual encounters and the inevitable tragic ending fraught with disappointment and shame. Is it a good idea for Christian women to feed their minds (which belong to God) with these books and movies? I'll say that if they do they need to be very discerning.<BR/><BR/>-JasonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
