Continuing The Horror Conversation

Paul’s counter to the legalistic approach was for believers to readjust our focus, to explore, if you will, the things above.

Biblical Discernment: Focus

It isn’t the presence of “icky, bad stuff” that we are to avoid thinking about, but rather discernment comes into play on what that stuff, icky or not, leads us to focus on, what truths it formulates in our minds. · R. L. Copple

How Then Can It Be Christian?

We find idolatry, sorcery, homosexuality, bestiality, murder, and rebellion to God throughout the pages of scripture. Does that make the Bible full of darkness? Of course not. What it means is that God’s Word gives us a realistic view of evil as well as good. · James Somers
