An article worth the read

Terry Mattingly

I believe the biggest sin we commit as Christians is not the watching of movies that contain language, violence, and sex; I believe our biggest sin is that we turn God into this sickening-sweet version of holy that is not presented in the Bible while using the same sugar-coating to transform the human condition into a version that is not presented by the Bible or by life. We take away God's power by the literature, the movies, and even the life we promote as Christians. I think most people have trouble serving a god who wouldn't dare watch more than a movie by the Olsen twins or read the fictional fluff that many of our Christian publishers serve; yet, that is how we portray our God.
