Bible Note: Dear Brother John, Greetings in the name of Jesus! I DID enjoy the site! I rather enjoyed the quote from Douglas Jones: "Harry Potter can't be a threat. Wizardry doesn't really work. And if your kids are really tempted to join a coven, then it's not a giant leap to say that you've failed miserably as a parent. Where is the ballast in your childrearing? How could that even be an option?" While I would never promote reading or watching Harry Potter, this makes sense! When I see parents totally absorbed in 'worship' while their children are running around wreaking havoc with no respect for the place and time of worship, I can't help think that this child is being offered up to the world on a platter. "And, ye fathers, provoke not your children to wrath: but bring them up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord." Ephesians 6:4 KJV If you use the sense God gave you to raise up your children in Him, even Harry Potter won't sway them, much less the works of C.S. Lewis or J.R.R. Tolkien! Blessings and Kurisumasu Omedetou! (Merry Christmas!) In Christ Jesus, charis |
