The supernatural. Is it real? Is it harmless? Is it dangerous? Is it okay to enjoy magically themed entertainment? TheNewBec wordquota.com "As with in the garden, the sinfulness, the threat to ourselves, comes when we are trying to seek anything other than God to be god to us- to usurp a power over God- to seek ourselves or other powers to give us a personal power trip or addiction to control." -Bec McNew "There lies a danger of diluting the magnificence of God’s supernatural existence, which in turn truncates the very source of our hope." -Bec McNew It’s in many stories about the magical miraculous that we see the parallel of Christ conquering death with life." -Bec McNew "Anything less than God himself is a danger when it’s elevated above Him." - Bec McNew "Creativity itself bears evidence to a designer God." "Stories of the magical miraculous can be used as innovative tools for some to behold the realization of God’s far-beyond-ourselves possibilities- his unfathomable awesomeness, his all-powerfulness- and invoke worship of HIM because of it." -Bec McNew "I honestly think we use the word magic because in our mortal vocabulary we are not equipped to talk about the glory, the awe, the majesty, the other-worldliness of God himself... it is our finite humanness trying to put into words the wonder and the responsibility and the greatness of things that we can't describe." -Lisa Jo Baker Romans 14, 2 Corinthians 10, Ephesians 6, Galatians 5, Galatians 4:10-11, Lisa Jo Baker IG Lisa Jo Baker Harry Potter, Jesus and Me Galatians For You Galatians For You
