I'm sure you're aware of the infatuation our youth has been having with vampires due to the Twilight Saga. Unfortunately, adult woman have also begun to embrace this movement. But have you noticed this trend growing amongst Christians as well? Is this wise? I know we have freedom in Christ, but is this pushing the envelope? Can you honestly read or watch this type of genre and feel comfortable if Jesus was sitting right next to you? Can you defend watching or reading this stuff biblically? Because I can give a pretty strong argument from Scripture of why we should stay away from entertaining ourselves with this stuff (Exodus 22:18; Lev. 19:26,31;20:6,27; Deut. 18:10-14; Isa. 8:19-29; 44:25; 47:12-14; II Kings 21:6; II Chron 33:6; Acts 8:9,18-22;13:6; Rev. 19:21;21:8;22:15). We need to wake up Christians and stop entertaining ourselves with the things that Jesus came to die for. This is not a game. Do you not take the cross seriously? Come on Christian, turn away from this immediately.
Not only are we failing to discern what we should and shouldn't be watching in the secular arena, but we are also failing to recognize what we need to be staying away from in spiritual circles. Just because something is labeled "Christian" doesn't necessarily mean it is. Books like "The Shack" are selling like hot cakes. But what many fail to realize is that this book can be labeled as blasphemous. When it comes to describing God, fiction or non-fiction, it's theology. And books like "The Shack" present bad theology that's leading many astray about the true nature of God.
Christians my plea to you is simple: STOP EMBRACING TWILIGHT AND STOP READING THE SHACK.
