What a coincidence that the night before my classes lecture on "Fear in the Media," my husband made me watch a slightly scary, more disturbing film that gave me quite a negative reaction. After watching this movie, that ends where evil wins I might add, I was disgusted and spent the night thinking about what kind of spirit was brought into my home from that film.
After our discussion on fear and its effects on children and even lasting into adulthood, I feel even stronger about really monitoring what plays in my home. If I truly want my home to be like a temple, these scary things do not need to be in it.
Now this does not mean I am cutting ALL scary movies or stories or anything out of my house... but I am simply making a goal to try to be more aware and prayerful about it.
