Ravi Zacharias presented in his most recent sermon an evaluation I have paraphrased below that is also helpful for determining the position we have placed God in the order of our priorities :
If Jesus is not lord, our body becomes our soul, the source that defines eternal importance. Consequently, our emotional responses are deformed, turning them upside down in their expression. What provokes laughter and what breaks a person’s heart reveals their perception of eternal value and earthly priority. One who is a slave to righteousness will not find joy in an abomination, trivialize the sacred, or respond to blasphemy with indifference. Therefore, is it possible to be a devoted Christ follower and be entertained by what Hollywood is offering as entertainment? The ability to handle emotions in legitimate expressions is evidence of a heart and mind surrendered to the lordship of Jesus Christ.
