There used to be an institution that dealt with this sort of problem; it was called the inquisition and they published lists of books or other material printed by heretical christians that people should stay away from. That was the past though, and I question if such an institution could possibly work today when we have such a massive amount of information circling through the world. Even the Chinese government, which monitors internet usage, often finds itself incapable of censoring all the content that it would want censored.

Another problem though, is that if we don’t use the term christian when something is christian and ought to be read, we may have difficulty directing chhristians to know it.

I don’t know if there is a way to solve this by our own efforts. I suppose we could pray to God and ask Him to help us with this.

Lord, help us with this and solve this problem in your eternal wisdom, amen

@Veronica and Iva: Yeah, we definitely rely too heavily on labels. I guess we want everything pre-discerned, but it doesn’t work that way.

@Caity: Thanks…that’s the biggest compliment I can get, that something I said made someone think!

@Jenny: Agreed. Sure budget-issues can affect the quality of the equipment and materials used, but the content itself better be good!

@K-Lai: Rub it in, why don’t ya?

@Joy: I don’t like calling them Easter eggs either, though I love colored eggs. If/when I have children, we will dye/hunt colored eggs as a spring holiday, separate from Resurrection Day.

@Dillow: I’m thankful to have pastors who practice what they preaches…and I’ve learned as much from their walks as from their talks.

@Kristen and Melissa: While I didn’t intend this post to be a warning against taking others at their word when they say “Christian” it is something to consider. While it’s not our place to deny/approve their faith, we can pick up clues from their words and actions.

P.s. I have an award for you @ my blog.

He had his point too.
