What's wrong with going to the movies?

Right before we had our devotional reading from Exodus and prayer for bed, one of my children asked me "what's wrong with going to the movies". Wow, what a controversial subject... We had a brief discussion about movies in general, both at the public theater and at home. Then we read the Exodus chapter 9, we prayed, then I sent them to bed.


After everyone was settled, I turned on the TV to CNN and was shocked. All I can say is ---- there are some crazy folk going to the ...movie theater on a nightly basis that we don't know *anything* about. We don't know their mental state, their intentions, nor their moral character. Yes, tragedy can happen anywhere, but at least at home, I'm in charge. I own the remote control, the DVD player, the computer, I pay the TimeWarner bill and NO crazies are allowed in my house!!

It is so terrible to see these shooting tragedies happen so often. Truly, "Satan is as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour." I know how I was raised and I can't turn my back on what God has revealed through the Holy Spirit of prophecy, especially when I know better.

The signs of the time is all around and we should heed the counsel God has given to us through His Word and not dismiss it as something archaic because the theater is air-conditioned, no smoking, and its clean. Praying for those in Lafayette Louisiana and praying for my peeps.
