Q: Why do you think Christians and the Church so quickly and easily embraced The Twilight Saga?
A: We are made in the image of God and therefore are spiritual beings, with a soul who live in a body. It is part of our identity in Christ. We are hungry for things of a spiritual nature, for the supernatural and transformation. In my estimation, the secular world has recognized and tapped into the mysterious spiritual world where the church often has not. The sad part is that the secular world entertains us with “good evil” fighting against “bad evil”. In many churches today, the Holy Spirit is ignored or not even allowed to operate. He has been “disabled” or unplugged. In my opinion, many in the Body of Christ feel powerless and are not experiencing true transformation so they turn to the Harry Potter series and The Twilight Saga to fill the void. Of course, these are counterfeit and many are easily deceived. Good Christians go to church, Sunday school, Bible studies, and small groups and then secretly “devour” The Twilight Saga behind closed doors because they are hungry for the Holy Spirit and good overcoming evil.
