Following Fallon: Lessons in Honor from Late Night?

 

When comedian Jimmy Fallon took NBC’s “Tonight Show” baton from host Jay Leno, he could have rolled out gray-hair jokes, displayed Jay’s most embarrassing moments, took shots at Jay’s worst jokes and roasted Jay in one way or another.

But instead Jimmy unleashed two weapons of love. With humility, Jimmy honored Jay with heart-felt notes of thanks, appreciation for the many years of laughs, and endearing hopes for his future. Jimmy fed Jay a heaping portion of respect. Jimmy even posed for New York Magazine wearing, literally, big shoes — symbolizing the greatness of TV’s top-ranked show, hosted by two of the funniest men Johnny Carson and Jay Leno.

Without realizing it, Jimmy taught viewers a lesson, one that is clearly endorsed and prescribed by God in the Bible, but rarely gets the same air time in our lives. Want to be a God’s man? Then we must possess humility and honor others.

Unfortunately, it’s so much easier to dishonor, boast and criticize. It even gets better ratings. News reports, opinion columns, and reality TV embrace critical, adversarial behavior. Our culture is searching for something or someone to criticize in order to advance an agenda or themselves.

That’s why I am giving big kudos to the new Prince of late night. It requires humility to put aside selfish ambition, pride and arrogance to find something to honor in someone else. He couldn’t have kicked off his start better.

Real Convictions Create Real Inconveniences

 

When Natalie Grant, an acclaimed Christian recording artist, walked out during the 2014 Grammy Award’s night last month, she was making a loud statement without saying a word. Rather than revel in the moment of her two nominations, she stood up and left the ceremony, which featured a soft core porn performance by a very married, young mother named Beyonce Knowles. It was so sexually aggressive that Jamie Foxx (the presenter who followed her performance) felt compelled to apologize to her husband who was sitting in the front row. He confessed to Jay-Z and the world-wide audience of those watching that he was taken mentally and sexually to places he knew he ought not to have gone as a result of the visual display put forward by the man’s wife. A mass same sex wedding followed officiated by Queen Latifah, Madonna, and Macklemore which functionally erased 5,000 years of how marriage has been defined and cast aside the red letters (Jesus’ own words) of the New Testament on the subject.
