"It's Just a Book?"

"Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things." -Philippians 4:8

Does your entertainment facilitate the holy joy of fellowship with Jesus? What does the Holy One of Israel think about your entertainment? Is Christ honored by it? Are you made more like Him through it? "Whatever is not from faith is sin." (Rom. 14:23) If you can't read/watch/listen to it as unto the Lord, the Bible says it's sin, and Jesus gave His life to free you from it. Let us love Him fully and lay aside every weight, however entertaining to the flesh, that would hinder us from fully enjoying His holy presence.

*Mark Driscoll is a fallen, flawed, often foolish man - and so am I. I by no means endorse everything he has ever said - nor does he. He has come a long way in the past decade or two, and still has a long way to go - as do I. You will not have to search the internet long to find things he has said, or delivery methods he has used, that I would strongly oppose. I encourage you to be humble and gracious toward a doctrinally sound brother in Christ who is growing in grace, and has not yet arrived, remembering that in many ways we are not that much different than him. I pray God would make me more discerning of my own sins, and only focused on those of others to the extent that is biblically edifying to all.
