I have to say it. It’s controversial and can step on toes—but I have to say it.
As a Christian, I have died to myself. I have made a promise to be in this world but not of it. And sexually graphic novels? It’s pornography.
It’s lust, impurity, and it is of Satan.
“Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.”
There are more scriptures, of course. There are examples and parables and even some frightening verses about how the wrath of God is coming because of sexual immorality.
This is not me condemning or judging, this is me encouraging you to take a look at your spiritual life and to put down a book that is so not what God is or what He is for.
amen, sista. our lives are set aside to honor Him, & these books don't help that purpose.
ReplyDeleteThank you! I agree completely!
ReplyDeleteAMEN.
ReplyDeletewoah. you hit the nail on the HEAD! i am SO thankful you wrote this post. i am praising God for other women like you and i. i have encountered many conversations with other women who don't agree and claim to be christ followers.
ReplyDeletethank you for being bold.
thank you for being confident.
thank you for having a heart for christ!
I don't even associate myself with any sort of organized religion, but I completely agree. I read the first book thinking this is straight up nasty porn- just as degrading and nothing but sick fantasy in words. I'm just glad I downloaded it illegally and didn't invest in the series financially...
ReplyDeleteSad how this has become a bestseller.
AMEN! I am a fellow believers, and I couldn't agree more! The only thing that should be awakening those feelings and desires is your spouse!
ReplyDeletep.s. i would love to swap buttons with you! Let me know if you're interested! :)
