You would have to willingly be deaf, dumb and blind not to see the swift moral decline of America, as the major television networks continue their assault on biblical/traditional marriage. Isn’t it ironic that while the mainstream media celebrates gay marriage, they often disparage traditional marriage while glorifying divorce and broken families? Take, for example, two different television shows created by Ali Adler – NBC’s The New Normal and ABC’s sitcom Glee, which will glorify divorce.
The New Normal storyline is about a happy and successful gay couple who wanted to have a child but were of course biologically challenged. They end up enlisting a surrogate mother to have a child and appear as a normal family. While Adler’s The New Normal sitcom glorified the gay family without revealing the destructive consequences of gay relationships, Adler’s new program will implicitly denigrate traditional marriage by praising the supposed glories of divorce. In fact, Deadline reported that the show is “about the silver lining of divorce”:
“In a competitive situation, ABC has landed a single-camera comedy from “The New Normal” co-creator/executive producer Ali Adler, which will be produced by ABC Studios and Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage’s studio-based Fake Empire. Written by Adler, the untitled comedy is about the dirty little secret of those days and nights when your ex has the kids. You get to drink too much and binge-watch “Breaking Bad” without checking homework or giving baths — it’s about the silver lining of divorce.” (Source)
We should not be surprised that Disney (who owns ABC) would put out such trash, as Disney has given us such wonderful paragons of virtue as Miley Cyrus (who recently left the Disney-owned Hollywood Records for RCA) and Lindsay Lohan. Parents should be aware that the Disney Channel (Nick Teen channel) is not only subversively undermining child/parent relationships, but glorifying gay couple relationships among youth as well. If we allow our children to watch such shows, we should not be alarmed if they come to view that which God condemns (homosexual behavior) as good and normal or consider traditional marriage “old fashion.”
Sadly, we live in the age of apostasy that Jesus prophesied would come before His second advent. Jesus warned that it would be like the days of Lot in Sodom and Gomorrah, just before His second coming (Luke 17:28-30). Truly, dark satanic powers are at work, promoting gay marriage as the “new normal” and elevating the tragedy of divorce among heterosexual families comprised of a husband, wife and children, as a good thing!
Studies have shown that children from divorced families are far more likely to fall into drug use, crime, depression, suicide, etc. Such studies also demonstrate that most divorced people have serious regrets about their divorces. Don’t hold your breath expecting ABC’s new show, which will promote the supposed silver linings of divorce, to show the millions of children who suffer the heartbreaking consequences of an unbiblical divorce!
Good Fight:
It is getting discouraging out here sometimes, the world is so sad, but thank you for encouraging us by not being afraid to speak Biblical truth.
It’s crazy how the church is acting the same way you mentioned Hollywood above.
Christian friends & family of mine have advocated or excused divorce (between a man and woman) if people are in unhappy marriages, even celebrating people as they marry their friends’ spouses.
They have even angrily argued that the Bible did not state homosexuality is a sin, and say it’s hateful to say it is. They celebrate homosexual marriage.
The difference in beliefs over what the Bible says about marriage are polarizing the church and separating spouses, parents, and friends.
In divorces in my loved ones’ lives, people have been abandoned and discarded, devastated financially and emotionally, even being separated from their children (or their dog), sometimes across several states, and it makes me sick as some Christians say that this is ok/not sinful, or even celebrate!
Sometimes I feel all alone in my convictions but then I recall the Lord is with me. I also watch your ministry and I know you folks stand also with His truth. I’m glad one day people will no longer lie in the name of Christ. He said He is coming soon and he will!
Thank you so much Good Fight!
Hello Erika, thank you for writing in. We understand your sadness amidst all that is happening in this world. All of this is prophesied in the bible to happen in the end times, which is just more proof that God and His word are true! Never grow weary in doing good and keep pressing forward in Christ! Eternity is forever, this life is a vapor.
