Fantastic Friday #775 - Banned

Banned

5 Therefore the wicked will not stand in the judgment,
nor sinners in the assembly of the righteous.

6 For the Lord watches over the way of the righteous,
but the way of the wicked leads to destruction. Psalm 1:5-6



This week we saw a publisher say they were not going to publish six children's books because of the content in these books. I have deep concern with this action this week and who knows where the true story lies of where this is coming from, but it does bring history to the forefront. During Caesar's reign, he burned down the library at Alexandria and other famous book burnings have taken place over the centuries, usually to quell uprisings. So the question is, where does it stop and could it impact our precious scriptures. I think the enemy is out there making every effort to make it disappear. God's Word has gone through many attempts by others to make it go away but it hasn't vanished, because God's Word is strong and like Timothy said, God's Word is not chained. The wicked may try and remove God from public places, government buildings, and schools, but God is in many hearts, minds and souls. So, as long as we continue to read and promote God's Word as truth, then it will not disappear or be banned/burned. Take this thought and ponder, once a book is allowed to become banned because someone believes it sends the wrong message, where does it stop? We have choices to make on what book we read, and I don't believe we should take that away. We cannot forget our history and God's involvement.

Have a great weekend.
