This is one of the best articles I’ve ever read on this subject. This really helped me to understand how to look at the many things I’ve experienced in this life so far. God created it all. It comes down to whether or not we are screening everything thru Jesus Christ’s Spirit, our own spirit, or some kind of demon’s. The key is to understand and to pray for wisdom and spiritual insight. This article gave me confidence to be able to not fear these things, but to be able to discern what is the purpose for them; God’s glorification. Thank you very much for writing this. It’s a gift from God.

Hey Tim!

Great story! Brought home to urban U.S.:

So, a machine operator who happens to be a junkie, serving the God of heroin, learns to operate his machine ever so efficiently, so that he can afford to feed his god (maybe he does get some inside tips from that demon). You come along, and if he is willing, (I as trainee was not so lucky) teaches you the tricks of the trade.
Virtually no difference in the morallity of the two scenarii. The scrupulous might have less difficulty with the 2nd scenario, because it has to do with making MONEY.

Drew,

It comes of running in certain circles, and — if I’m honest — of having been a weaker brother on a lot of things for a long time, myself. Most Christians either laugh at a guy like this, or they’re even wierder than he is. I remember what it was like to be that guy, and have nobody to talk to that understood the scruples, really got it — but didn’t agree. So when I encounter it, I try to speak to it as well as I can. Different gifts, different ministries, different activities — but it’s the same Spirit in them all.

Jim,

Oh, man, you don’t know the half…

Are you okay, Bro? Sometimes you get weird.

haha, highly creative. One of the most interesting blog posts I’ve ever read.

You seem to run across a lot of scrupulous Christians, but I guess that’s what happens when you’re a pastor.
