Friends With Benefits « Go Beyond • Live Adventurously for God: The movie “Friends With Benefits” depicts Dylan and Jamie agreeing to a friendship with the added benefit of sex and nothing more. Most disturbing is the scene where they seal their agreement by placing their hands on Jamie's iPad. Jamie attests, "I'm a good girl," apparently alluding to the fact she's loaded a Bible app on it.
Pastor Omar Garcia points out the irony of making a commitment to a sex-and-nothing-else relationship by swearing on the Bible. Maybe Hollywood thinks a digital version of scripture renders its principle of purity moot. But, as Luke 18:19 says, “No one is good but God alone.” Pastor Garcia reminds us, "Good is grounded in the very nature of God and the God of the Bible declares that immorality is not good for us."
