Some people equate holiness and standards with things that are crushing and cruel. The fact of the matter is holiness is liberty from the world and the passions there in. Holiness does not bind, but frees us to be what the Lord has called us to be, separated and righteous. Men who love the world more than they love Christ will always see standards as evil and wicked. Men who love Christ more than the world will always see sin as evil and wicked.
The notion that I can be like the world and still be of Christ is what this really boils down to. Can I have the world as my master for hours a day, and still call Christ Lord and be accepted of Him on Sunday? No. This TV is really just the surface of a much deeper issue, holiness in the heart and life. Some have walked away from standards and are using the TV issue as a platform to showcase their walk in this world. But, for the people of Jesus, called by His name, holiness is not a choice, but a commandment, and one we follow gladly.
