Question:



Ok I always have a hard time with this. Books don't effect me but somtimes they can be pretty dark.I'm reading the book ravens gate and I can't tell if this is demaonic. There is still good and evil though.
I like the book but should I go on in this series?



Answer:



If you look at Philippians 4:8, you'll see the guidelines for what Christ views as acceptable for what we pour ourselves into for godly living. You have to ask yourself this question; does what I'm putting myself into lead me into the new life that is in Christ or does it encourage me looking back at the old life? I'm not saying that you can't ever read anything that is not written by a Christian, but there should be a desire to honor and follow the Lord that needs to guide your decision making. If these books lead you to things or thinking that is not of the Lord, you need to stop it. This is something you need to come to terms with between you and Christ.
