The sad antics of Charlie Sheen several years ago culminated in him getting fired from his CBS show that was worth around $26,000,000 in his final year. Ironically, he called this “winning.” What has been revealed about his life is utterly shocking. He is multi-millionaire immersed in a world of prostitutes, porn stars, alcohol, and cocaine. In other words, complete debauchery. He is the complete opposite of Proverbs 3:1-2: “My son, forget not my law; but let thine heart keep my commandments: For length of days, and long life, and peace, shall they add to thee.”
Honestly, I am not disappointed that his vile show is off the air, but it is a poor example for young people who look at him as a role model. On the other hand, Paul said of Epaphroditus: “Because for the work of Christ he was nigh unto death, not regarding his life, to supply your lack of service toward me” (Philippians 2:30). He is a far greater role model than the so-called celebrities of our pop culture age. Emulate them, and therefore you will be able to “… be thou an example of the believers, in word, in conversation, in charity, in spirit, in faith, in purity” (1 Timothy 4:12).
