A New Version of an Old Skit

There are many variations on the skit where the person is walking with God, sin comes in, and then God rescues them. Probably the oldest one that I've heard of was entitled "Bondages". When someone sent me a link to the following video, I thought two things.

1. Godtube.com... although I don't believe I've watched any videos there, I just figured that there really wasn't a reason for it since YouTube existed... would this be a cheesy Christian movie?

2. Great... it looks just like a variation of "Bondages", a skit that, while powerful, I had already seen and so I didn't think it would live up to the "pretty powerful video to watch" line that was part of the e-mail.

I was surprised. As the person who sent me the link said, "It takes a bit to build and tell the story." The part that hit me is how convincing the actress was in her struggle to get back. So many skits show the story as we walk away and then come back easily. When enslaved to sin, we have to constantly keep fighting against the sin and then, only by the power of Christ, are we free.

  1. i keep my feelings of disgust at the existence of something called GodTube to myself and say that this was quite good and powerful - i'll admit it, i choked up. too bad it's on a site with such limited viewership. sorry, i wasn't going to comment on that.

  2. clarification: by site with limited viewership I meant GodTube not Mod-Blog.
