Red Carpet Highlights: Yellowjackets Season 3(February and April 2025)
It is all too easy, in our day and age, to be swept along by the current of cultural noise. We live in a world that clamors for our attention with every tap and click, a world that crafts entire industries to glorify the creature rather than the Creator. Award shows enthrone the temporal achievements of man. Viral dances and digital trends call for worship—if not through folded hands, then certainly through devoted eyes and hearts. And all the while, millions drift farther from the truth, intoxicated by applause, fame, and digital immortality. But for the one who has been born again by the Spirit of God, this world is no longer home.
As the apostle Peter declares, we are “a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people for His own possession, that [we] may proclaim the excellencies of Him who called [us] out of darkness into His marvelous light” (1 Peter 2:9). We are not our own. We have been bought with a price—the blood of the Lamb, shed for us at Calvary. The Christian life is not one of drifting through the world unnoticed, but of deliberate, daily resistance to the spiritual gravity of this age.
The apostle John is not vague when he says, “Do not love the world or the things in the world” (1 John 2:15). His words are final, nonnegotiable. This is not a gentle suggestion but a radical command from the throne of heaven. The phrase “do not love” strikes against the heart of a world enthralled with affection for itself. John speaks of the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life. These are not merely the occasional stumbles of the lost—they are the defining categories of life apart from Christ. And they are passing away.
Ecclesiastes echoes this sobering refrain: “Vanity of vanities, all is vanity.” It is a divine diagnosis of a world without God. The glories of Hollywood, the influence of social platforms, the tears of Oscar winners and TED speakers—all of it, under the sun, is fleeting. We must come to terms with the fact that the world, in all its glitter and glamor, offers nothing of eternal value.
Yet, this is not a call to cloister ourselves in monastic ignorance. The Word of God does not call us to flee from culture entirely, but to navigate it with discernment. To be in the world, but not of it. The believer walks in holiness not by accident, but by grace-fueled conviction. As James says with thunderous clarity: “Friendship with the world is enmity with God.”
So then, what shall we do? We fix our eyes on Christ, the Author and Perfecter of our faith. We live coram Deo—before the face of God. Every choice, every word, every post, every view, every moment—lived with God as our audience, our King, and our joy. This world is passing away, but those who do the will of God will abide forever. Let us, then, live not for man’s applause but for heaven’s approval.
