This week, there has been a pretty big focus on Florida vs Disney among the media. Florida took the step of removing Disney’s self-governing status that it has held for over 50 years. The move was a political one, but it should highlight several other things for Christians as we look at it from a Christian perspective. 

The move was not driven by political reasons, but we should be thankful for the move. The move to protect children from things that are a direct contradiction to the word of God is always the right thing. While many may disagree in the social aspects of the law, it would align with the teachings found in Scripture. 

It also highlights the need for parents to be very watchful of the content that their children take in. Disney makes no secrets that they are willing to put social messages in their content. Sometimes that can be good, such as accepting people that look different or are of different colors. The company is interested in pandering to social justice and special interests, however. Those we must pay attention to. 

More than that, it highlights the move of the world to make anything that is a stance for God's truth to be "hate speech." Take for example the case from the UK where the street preacher was recently cleared from charges of hate speech after saying that marriage is between one man and one woman. The statements align with teachings from the word of God, but that is considered hate speech to our world today. 

Christians must be praying and asking for wisdom and guidance as we take a stance on issues publicly. We should not hate the people involved, but we should absolutely take a stand for God's truth and what is right. We should pray for God's guidance and help as we navigate these issues to know that we address them the right way.
