Why Christian women should stop idolising Hollywood star Jennifer Lawrence

A lot of young women look up to "The Hunger Games" star Jennifer Lawrence, but Christian author of "Faith and Fitness" Diana Anderson-Tyler says that it's about time they look for someone else to idolise since Lawrence is notorious for her anti-Biblical remarks.

While Anderson-Tyler admires Lawrence for her acting skills and outspoken views, she cannot help but shake her head when she heard the actress support Planned Parenthood and its distribution of contraceptives.

Lawrence insinuated that the abortion service provider helped make her a success because she has turned to the organisation in the past for birth control and condoms, therefore making her a woman who "has not had a pregnancy."

And even though Lawrence was raised in a Christian home, Anderson-Tyler said that the actress has veered away from her religious upbringing.

Anderson-Tyler writes in Charisma News, "For reasons unknown, the actress has abandoned the morality that presumably accompanied her Christian upbringing and has instead subscribed to the fashionable postmodern worldview that decries absolutes, distrusts dogma and writes off godly principles as personal preferences."

"There's no doubt why so many people consume postmodern views like candy, especially when that candy is served by a vivacious starlet like Jennifer Lawrence," she adds. "Postmodern and New Age beliefs hold that every person is either one with God or is a god. Such people supposedly decide their own morality, become the center of their own universe, and no one has the right to tell them any different. Looks sweet, sounds sweet, tastes sweet, but these are among the bitterest precepts one can swallow."

The apostle Paul warned in his letter to Timothy that there will come a time "when people will no longer listen to sound and wholesome teaching. They will follow their own desires and will look for teachers who will tell them whatever their itching ears want to hear."

According to Anderson-Tyler, this is exactly what is happening today especially since Hollywood is promoting "moral relativism."

"The media and the majority of its shining stars promote an atheistic narrative that sounds appealing, looks attractive and even sometimes appears to bring greater happiness than what Christianity offers. We would be wise to remember the words of King Solomon, the wisest king to ever rule, who said this: 'There is a way that seems right to a man, but its end is the way of death' (Prov. 14:12)," she says.
