Slice of Laodicea

Somebody wake me up and tell me this is a bad dream. Caryl Matrisciana, a long time occult researcher and movie producer, reports that Focus on the Family’s Plugged In Online website has some advice for Christians about the Twilight vampire movie phenomenon. Caryl writes:

The Christian organization, Focus on the Family’s “Plugged In Online,” website has this very positive thing to say to Christians desiring to see a movie about a vampire, a teenage girl, and their lust for one another. “Family is a big part of what nurtures Twilight’s love. Edward’s coven—family—of vampires is a loving one. Each member is committed to protecting the others, even Bella when she becomes part of them through her relationship with Edward.”

So vampires are OK as long as their in a loving coven, er, family? Paging Mr. Dobson: Time to focus on the Word of God instead of trying to find a pro-family theme in a vampire movie with occult content. Don’t whine about losing the “culture”, anybody. Christians have bent over backwards to become the culture and now are indistinguishable from it.

Here is Caryl’s full report on the movie.

I am concerned as I have listened to Christian friends discuss seeing this movie. When those calling themselves Christians are entertained by movies with vampires sucking blood from animals, occult phenomenon and teen lust, they simply can’t know the Lord of glory. 1 John 2:4 says, “Whoever says ‘I know Jesus Christ’ but does not keep his commandments is a liar, and the truth is not in him…” We’d better wake up to that truth before it’s too late.
