Grace and peace, Saints.
The web is abuzz today behind Matthew McConaughey’s plug for “God” during his Oscar acceptance speech last night. Many are lauding McConaughey for having the “courage” to mention God at a venue representing an industry notorious for it’s lack of reverence for God and the Lord Jesus Christ:
It’s amazing that so many people could be fooled into believing that McConaughey is really a God-fearing man, just because he gives thanks to “god.”Â
God means many things to many people. Oprah Winfrey, for example, says that to her, God is “a force.” “Jesus Christ,” said she, “Is not “The Way,” but rather, “He came to show us the way.” Former president, George W. Bush, when asked during an interview what he saw when he looked into Pope John Paul II’s eyes, said simply, “God.”
God means different things to different people.
Who is God, then, to Matthew McConaughey? Well, McConaughey’s God is himself. Don’t believe me? Well listen to what he says:
“In the words of the late Charlie Laughton…‘When you’ve got God, you’ve got a friend — and that friend is you.’â€
Did you get that? McConaughey is saying that God is you. So when McConaughey gives thanks to God he is actually giving thanks to himself. He’s patting himself on the back. Whitney Houston did the same thing when she sung The Greatest Love of All.
McConaughey further proves this when he relates that the hero to whom he has aspired all his life to be is himself. The “someone to chase” he mentions is Matthew McConaughey. Now, if he were a true Christian, McConaughey would have said that he aspired to be like the Lord Jesus Christ, as this is the ultimate role model for the Christian. Instead, he brazenly declares that he himself is the model to which he aspires. McConaughey is his own god.
Self godhood is a premier motif of New Age Christianity. Incidentally, in the movie “Contact,” McConaughey plays a New Age spiritual guru to the President of the United States. Christian, you say? Uh–huh.
McConaughey’s Oscar speech is a literal fulfillment of 2 Timothy 3:
“This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.
“For men shall be lovers of their own selves, covetous, boasters, proud, blasphemers… unthankful, unholy…heady, highminded, lovers of pleasures more than lovers of God;
“Having a form of righteousness, but denying the power thereof” (2 Timothy 3:1-5).
McConaughey’s version of Heaven is yet further evidence that he is no Christian, as he relates in his speech that his late father is probably in heaven with a big pot of gumbo, sipping a Miller Light and dancing. My Bible does not say that beer or gumbo will be allowed in Heaven, and McConaughey’s reference is blasphemous, to say the least.
I couldn’t help but notice that McConaughey several times cleverly flashes the Cult of Mary handsign, signalling his allegiance to the goddess:
Same stuff, different day.
Matthew McConaughey is no different than any of the other unholy denizens of the cesspool that is Tensiltown.

Be encouraged and look up, for your redemption draweth nigh.
