We can approvingly laugh, applaud, say amen, or reject it. But if we are honest, we do not reject too much of it or we wouldn't watch it fr what joy would it bring?<BR/><BR/>Now that we touched on joy, is this {TV} where we want to derive our joy from, especially since his is usually the very thing that Christ came to die for? <BR/><BR/>I would answer the topic question as, yes probably. Beware thinking that we are above the influences. This is what I believe Paul meant when he said we wrestles with powers, principalities etc.<BR/><BR/>PS: Thanks for the chapter synopsis on the Puritan books.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
