Vampires Everywhere

So what's up with vampire craze? Do these bloodsucking, demon possessed creatures just make a fun story....or is there something more deceptive at work?

For those of you who might have no idea what I'm talking about, you should understand that there is a series of books out called "The Vampire Diaries". They center around a young girl who is torn between two vampire brothers. Also there is another vampire series and movie called "Twilight", which is all about sexy vampires and the women who can't keep their hands off them.
In just one more sign that our culture is losing all elements of Christian discernment, parents are allowing and even encouraging girls as young as 8 to get involved in these vampire novels. I spoke to one woman I know well this summer and she was raving about how her young daughter and she were enjoying reading this series of novels together. Then she lowered her voice and said she wouldn't let her daughter read the most recent books because as the series progressed, they turned into "vampire porn"....she whispered to us.

Today, this headline came to the front of the news;

“Vampire Diaries“ Brings in the Most Numbers Ever for CW

Now, the concern will be keeping the numbers up for the subsequent weeks. “Vampire Diaries” is based on the series of young adult novels of the same name by L.J. Smith. It centers on a girl who is torn between two vampire brothers.

Did you catch that??...."young adult novels". We are starting our kids down a very dark path. We know how this works...the books will start out kind of light and dreamy and every subsequent book will grow darker and more evil... loaded with more sex and more violence....until they get our young girls involved in "vampire porn".


Let's remember what Leviticus 17:12 tells us, "None of you may eat blood, nor may an alien living among you eat blood."

We know the pattern of Satan....whatever God tells us to do for for our safety and obedience....Satan tries to entice us to do the opposite in an attempt to lead us off the narrow path.

We need to guard our hearts and minds in this evil age....and we need to learn to parent our kids and say, "no".....even when all the other clueless parents are saying, "Yes!"....and thereby giving support to something that leads people away from Christ...instead of towards him.
