Kate Upton

What Is Kate Upton’s Religion? Is Kate Upton Christian?

Yesterday, the American model and actress Kate Upton celebrated her 22nd birthday. She is most well known for her appearance in the Swimsuit edition of 2013’s Sports Illustrated magazine. You may have also seen Kate Upton in the recent film “The Other Woman” with co-stars Cameron Diaz and Leslie Mann.

Hopefully Kate Upton received all the birthday gifts that she wanted yesterday. Did you realize that the greatest gift of all times is available to Kate Upton? What would the best birthday gift be for Kate Upton?

  • Brand New Mansion
  • Fancy Sports Car
  • $1,000,000 Cash
  • Eternal Beauty

It’s possible that she learned about the greatest gift during her time at Holy Trinity Episcopal Academy (the school that Kate Upton attended, according to Google). While at school, Kate Upton could have learned that doing things like lying, stealing, blasphemy, fornication and even dishonoring her parents is actually committing sin against God.

The good news for Kate Upton is that even though she broke God’s law (which is called sin) God demonstrated His love towards us in that while we were still sinners, He sent His Son Jesus Christ to suffer and die on the cross for our sins.

The greatest gift for Kate Upton would be to be forgiven of her sins and become a Christian. Kate Upton a Christian? Wouldn’t that be great news! Jesus Christ is the best gift that Kate Upton could receive.

Keep in mind that Kate Upton is not the only person that sinned against God. You too have sinned against God and are in need of forgiveness. If a person, even Kate Upton, would die without having their sins forgiven, then they would have “hell to pay”. That’s not just a phrase, Hell is a place that people are punished for their sins.

You might say “God loves Kate Upton”, God would never send her to hell. God is not pleased with sending people to hell. God wants Kate Upton to recognize her sin, and receive the free gift of God’s grace found in Jesus Christ.

Pray for Kate Upton to become a Christian. Pray that Kate Upton would realize her need for a savior, and remember that she is a creation of God.

Kate, if you happen to be reading this and getting upset at me for judging you, please know that I am a sinner beyond belief. I am not judging you, but begging you to examine yourself and judge for yourself if you’ve broken God’s law and if you’re in need of forgiveness. Jesus Christ is the best free you’ll ever receive Kate. I pray that the phrase “Kate Upton is a Christian” will one day be a true statement.

LeVar Burton

LeVar Burton and the Third Commandment

You may know him as Lt. Geordie La Forge from Star Trek the Next Generation, or from the long-running award-winning educational kids TV show Reading Rainbow. Well, I knew LeVar Burton, and loved him from both. Christians all over have enjoyed watching LeVar on both shows.

I was excited to see LeVar Burton back in 2012 talking at Apple's World Wide Developer Conference. He spoke about his Reading Rainbow app that would be coming to iOS devices.

While he was up on the stage, speaking about an app for children, I was a bit disheartened when I heard him blaspheme the name of the Lord.

Many people don't even realize that saying things like "Oh my God" and "God Dammit" is actually violating the 3rd Commandment of God. Some would argue that LeVar Burton when he used God's name in vein maybe wasn't actually using it to offend God or Christian audience members. That's probably true, I don't know what LeVar Burton was thinking, or what his motivation for using God's name in vein was.

The idea is, LeVar Burton, (like me, and anybody else) has violated God's law. I heard him do it while at the conference, but I'm sure that LeVar Burton has likely broken God's law by doing the following things.

  • Has LeVar Burton ever told a lie?
  • Do you think the actor that played Geordie ever stole something?
  • Did the Reading Rainbow star ever look at a woman with lust?
  • Don't just judge LeVar Burton, think about these for yourself.

If you're a Christian, and you came here to see if it was true that LeVar Burton is a Christian: I don't know. I hope and pray that LeVar Burton becomes a Christian. He's not the only one that broke God's law... you did, I did, we all did.

We broke God's law, that's bad news. I don't know if you, or LeVar Burton, knows that God is real and that violating his law is punishable. But there is good news, the Gospel of Jesus Christ.

The Bible says that even though LeVar Burton broke God's law, the good news is that Jesus Christ, God's son, suffered and died on the cross for sinners. I'm a sinner, you're a sinner, and LeVar Burton is a sinner.

God demonstrated His love towards us in that while we (including LeVar Burton) we still sinners, he sent Jesus Christ to die for us. We broke God's law, but God gave His son Jesus Christ to pay the penalty for our sin.

The good news for LeVar Burton is that if he accepts the free gift of grace given to us sinners by God, then all of his sins will be forgiven by the grace of God through faith in Jesus Christ. If you wish it were true that "LeVar Burton is a Christian", then be praying for him. If you get the chance to speak to LeVar Burton in real life, make sure to share the Gospel of Jesus Christ with him.

Jay Leno

Is Jay Leno Religious? Christian? Catholic?

Jay Leno hosted the Tonight Show from 1992, until 2009 (plus a few more years). Born on April 28th, 1950 that means at the time of this writing, he is currently 64 years old. I watched Jay Leno many nights on NBC. He is a funny, talented comedian.

During one of the Jay Leno man-on-the-street style interview, he asked tested others on their knowledge of Easter and other questions about Jesus. Jay Leno saying things about Jesus may seem strange to some as it is not believed that he is a Christian or that he trusts in Jesus.

I know that if I ever heard the news that Jay Leno is a Christian, at first I would be skeptical, but I would be excited. When I became a Christian, I found myself wanting to watch the Tonight Show with Jay Leno less and less. I'm not saying that all shows were terrible, but some of them included sinful content that I no longer wanted to watch.

If getting in to heaven was achieved by being a funny comedian and award-winning talk show host, Jay Leno would surely get in. But the fact is, we don't get in to heaven by being charming, or funny. The standard is God's law so Jay Leno should ask himself the following questions.

  • Has Jay Leno ever lied? Lying is a sin against God.
  • Ever stolen anything Mr. Leno? (regardless of its value)
  • Looked with Lust? Lots of beautiful girls on Jay Leno's show
  • Ever used God's holy name in vein? (saying "Oh my God" or "Jesus Christ" in a careless or disrespectful way)

To be clear, I'm not judging the funny man Jay Leno. As I said above, it would be great news if it were true that Jay Leno is a Christian. I pray that he understands that sinning against God is a serious and punishable crime. Maybe you've heard the phrase "hell to pay", well, when you sin against God, that's a true statement.

Then Bible says that God demonstrated His love towards us in that while we were yet sinners, He sent Jesus Christ to suffer and die for sinners. If Jay Leno would understand what gracious thing God has done for him on the cross, he would be thankful, and saved.

I Pray that Jay Leno would be forgiven of his sins by trusting in what Jesus Christ did for him on the cross. Then the whole community of believers would all praise God for the news that Jay Leno is a Christian.

If you happen to be reading this, Mr. Jay Leno, and you have any questions or comments, I would love to speak to you. You can contact me by leaving a comment here. If you're reading this and you're not Jay Leno, please be praying for his salvation.
