I believe that had to do with why they did so. I had never heard of Russell Wilson or Ciara, but if he is doing this in public to show that the hedonistic culture can be rejected rather than for public acclaim, I imagine Jesus would approve. Context always matters.
“Be careful not to practice your righteousness in front of others to be seen by them . . . So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets . . . to be honored by others . . . And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others."
In a society that accepted decent values, even if many fell short, it was not necessary to set the example in this way, but Jesus still left an out. He qualified every restriction based on the motive for doing good in public. Russell Wilson is not necessarily doing this ostentatiously or for public admiration; I hope he is doing it for the right reasons.
He is a flaming hypocrite. If they are going to “practice” abstinence before marriage, it sounds as if their practices were not going so well prior to their engagement, or did I read this incorrectly?
I hope so, too. And since I don’t know him, I’m not going to judge his motives.
