Put on the full armor of God, so that you can take your stand against the devil’s schemes (Ephesians 6:11).
Sonja smiled sweetly. «Of course, I wouldn’t recommend that all teens go to the movie I saw last night,» she said. «A lot of young people would be tempted to do wrong if they saw it. But I can look at any movie I want to, and the bad parts don’t harm me one bit.»
Then there’s Fort Pulaski. Engineers spent almost twenty years building this Savannah, Georgia, marvel. It boasted walls thirty-two feet high and eleven feet thick. A deep moat surrounded it and offered protected pads for 140 cannon. «The enemy may make it very warm for you,» Robert E. Lee told his Southern officers at the outbreak of the Civil War, «but they can’t breach these walls.» No one mentioned that to the Northern army. Soon they showed up with a brand-new type of cannon that utilized rifled barrels. It increased the accuracy and range, and doubled the damage the shell caused when it slammed into its target. The fort that would not fall surrendered within thirty hours.
That harmless movie with those few scenes of violence or lust may be making more of an impact on you than you think. They may be planting subtle messages in your brain so that, when faced with situations similar to those encountered by the actors, you might react as they did in the movie.
Maybe it’s time to put on God’s armor, not your own. Fort Pulaski fell. So can you.
