Its from Denzel washington during an interview. Its not something you expect from the Hollyweird crowd.

He told the outlet that he will tirelessly work to honor God for the rest of his days on this earth.

"If you don't have a spiritual anchor you'll be easily blown by the wind and you'll be led to depression," he told the outlet of his time in Hollywood. "I'm a God-fearing man. I try not to worry. Fear is contaminated faith."

Washington went on to conclude the interview by stating that sin is the ultimate cause of division both within ourselves and our communities.

“The enemy is the inner me," he said. "The Bible says in the last days — I don’t know if it’s the last days, it’s not my place to know — but it says we’ll be lovers of ourselves. The No. 1 photograph today is a selfie, ‘Oh, me at the protest.’ ‘Me with the fire.’ ‘Follow me.’ ‘Listen to me.’ We’re living in a time where people are willing to do anything to get followed. What is the long- or short-term effect of too much information? It’s going fast and it can be manipulated, obviously, in a myriad of ways. And people are led like sheep to slaughter.”

He added, “In heaven, there are going to be two lines, the long line and the short line, and I’m interested in being in the short line.”

Thank you for sharing that, it is far too infrequent that we hear such truth from public figures.

He has been consistent for years. He is one of the good guys. There are more like him there though it’s hard to believe.

When I read the opening post I was thinking,"then you don't know Denzel Washington at all!" Probably 20 years ago I saw him shut down the anchor on the Today Show when she started belittling the Christian faith. God will always reserve faithful men even if we don't know about them!

He & Morgan Freeman are very vocal vs. race card wavers. They refuse to blame society for the fate of minorities who play victims given the opportunities that this country has to offer.
They set themselves as examples of what is possible, even in Hollywood, with hardwork & perseverance, not entitlement nor resentment.
Their deep faith has a lot to do with this.
