Summary: Many pursuits in our lives are only vanity. The TV has become the extra person in our family. It uses drama that becomes grafted onto our emotional connection. There is a whole genre of blood and guts spilled by angels and demons. Vampires are made to seem like lovers. It is an intentional desire on the part of producers to change what we believe about the supernatural. There is never a word about Jesus. I’m not yet saying to turn off the TV, but protect yourselves accordingly.
