Amos 3:7

A housewife named Stephenie Meyer “received” the story of Twilight in a dream on June 2, 2003.  The vision she had of a vampire and mortal as lovers compelled her to start writing the story immediately.  She says she couldn’t resist the drive to write down her dream (a similar sinario to J.K Rowlings, author of Harry Potter).  Meyer gives a summary of that first dream, “I woke up (on that June 2nd) from a very vivid dream. In my dream, two people were having an intense conversation in a meadow in the woods. One of these people was just your average girl. The other person was fantastically beautiful, sparkly, and a vampire. (continue reading…)

Set Nothing Wicked Before Your Eyes

“I will set nothing wicked before my eyes,” wrote David (Psalm 101:3). We should adopt the same policy. This applies to what we read, watch on TV, and view on the Internet. The eyes on our faces are avenues to our souls, and if we view evil, we can easily become evil. The old saying, “Monkey see, monkey do,” reveals a deep truth.

New Age Oldest Lie

Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?

Genesis 3:1-5 (continue reading…)

Is “Harry Potter” Harmless?

Even some Christians leaders agree that it’s “just fantasy” and generally acceptable for the Christian reader, including Chuck Colson of Breakpoint, the editors of World Magazine, and Connie Neal (author of What’s A Christian To Do With Harry Potter?) [7] However, occult experts, Marcia Montenegro of Christian Answers for the New Age [8] and Caryl Matrisciana, author of Gods of the New Age [9], disagree with their Christian peers. Both have personal experience in the occult before becoming Christians. (continue reading…)

Avatar Exposed

In Avatar, the god of the Na’vi selects a “savior”—the protagonist Jake Sully. Like Christ, he is “incarnated” (Sully is a bioengineered mixture of human DNA and Na’vi DNA) to be one of the Na’vi. He becomes their hero, leading them to a type of “salvation”—and then experiences something of a “death” and “resurrection,” by the power of the Na’vi god to whom he had prayed…(excerpt)
