"Whether it is Right..."

"Whether it is right in the sight of God to obey you rather than God, you be the judge; for we cannot stop talking about what we have seen or heard."

A week ago, I felt led to pick up Acts and study it up to the day we leave for India. I started four days ago, and nine chapters through, I have read so much that impacted me that I did not know where to begin.

That is, until tonight, until after watching "The Half-Blood Prince." (Full review to come later)

Editor's Note: Many Christians (including many dear to me) become flummoxed because of the main premise of the books: they detail the life of an up-and-coming wizard in his wizarding world, replete with side stories about all his wizard friends (and enemies). White magic or dark, it matters not: it's magic and thus, occultic. A Christian has no part in it. Mainly, I oppose this type of reasoning because, a. it assumes the Christian cannot ask the Holy Spirit for spiritual discernment to locate what is godly and what is not, and b. discourages any attempt to exercise spiritual and intellectual discernment.

Near the end of the film, Albus Dumbledore gives a condition to the main character, Harry, in order for Harry to be able to accompany him on a very important mission to help him recover an artifact that will help them destroy the evil Lord Voldemort. He tells Harry, "It is vitally important that you do everything I say exactly as I say it." (That's a paraphrase).

More to come on that tomorrow...
