Seeing Truth Reflections In Light Of Scripture

If we enjoy natural wonders, works of art and fantastic God-honoring stories, does that mean we don’t believe Scripture is sufficient? Not at all. Instead we can love all these, not in place of God’s Word, but because they reflect its light. · E. Stephen Burnett

Is Entertainment A Waste Of Time? Part 3

Being a Christian is not a part time occupation. Consequently, when we’re at work, we are Christians. When we’re in the grocery store, we’re Christians.

The Potential Of Affectionate Parody

Many ways exist to make fun of a story, not all of them hostile. What do you think about affectionate/hostile parody, takeoff and satire? Have I missed something? Is it okay to spoof something we enjoy? What about people we know? · E. Stephen Burnett

Should Authors Critique Others’ Books?

Is a designated Bad Word always bad, even if it’s used in Fictitious Cussing? Some arguments, both against and for. Against: “Why do we need the cussing?” For: “Cussing helps show the evil in our world.” And what does Scripture say? · E. Stephen Burnett

$#@£₣! My Christian Fiction Doesn’t Say, Part 1

Here I hope to represent and discuss both sides of the Fictitious Cussing debate, pros and cons, rebuttals for and against. Why? Because I’m still sorting through it all myself. And last year I thought a little differently than I do today. · E. Stephen Burnett
