Ok, so I have these DVD's that I have decided I should get rid of because they are evil. I have some Sex and the City DVDs and some films that arent very Christian. So...at first I had the brilliant idea that I would trade them in at the video store for some new holier DVDs for myself. But then I thought, is that wrong and selfish of me to just put them back out into the world like that? Should I just cut them up and throw them away? I dont know, what should I do? Of course I want to trade them but would it be better for me to destroy them? :whistling: What would Jesus want me to do? Maybe it is not my responsibility to burn them? :24:

Do what your conscious is telling you. That is the Holy Spirit talking to you.

The Holy Spirit is telling me not to be extreme. He is telling me that stories are stories, some stories have bad in them, just like the stories of the OT, but they need not be obliterated?

By trading them in, you end up having someone else see that stuff. Since it isnt right for you to see it, it isnt right for others to see it. In essence you promote sin by putting it where others can view it.

Toss them.

When I first became a Christian, God put His finger on similar things. It was a test of obedience and serving God vs gods. I threw out Black Sabbath, etc. as well as other positive secular music. I did the right thing at the time. In retrospect, I wish I had much of it back and have replaced some of it (The Who, Beatles, etc.). The key was for God to have my heart as evidenced by my tangible willingness to give up important, costly things. To obey is better than sacrifice. This is between you and God and should not be a legalism.

Some things are not profitable or wrong. Sex and City is crude and has little redeeming value for a believer. Trash it. Other things might be OK to keep or trade in. The issue of the money spent or forfeited might be another test of Lordship (therefore destroy it). Sometimes extreme and radical is what is needed. On the other hand, it might be wise to let some go and it would not pose a risk for someone else who would buy it.

Listen to the Spirit, Word, and your heart. Men may give wisdom, but they might also confuse you.

How much do you want for them? :24:

JK! :24: You couldn't pay me to watch Sex in the City.

If it was me, I would toss anything that I thought promoted immorality or was disrespecting God in the trash bin.

The Spirit of God knows what is in your heart.

Peace, :whistling:

    • Exhortation - October 24, 2024

      Albert Finch posted a blog entry in Albert Finch Ministry,

      You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • The Simchat Torah War -- Is this a Water Breaking Moment of Revival?

      George posted a topic in Biblical Topics,

      George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
