Is the Dark Knight Too Dark?

For those that attend our Wednesday night worship regularly you know we have been discussing the viewing and listening habits of a Christian. Philippians 4:8 has much to say about the types of things we should allow our minds to dwell on. This obviously has great implications for what we watch and listen to. I came across this article today and found it interesting since much of our discussion has focused on a standard of "Is it beneficial?" While we have steered clear of condemning any specific movies or bands, this article is a good reminder to ask "is this beneficial" as opposed to "is it a sin" for me to watch this. Hope you enjoy!

Great article, it really hit home when he wrote "while I left the theater thinking "great movie," I also left feeling relieved it was over. I didn't feel uplifted by the triumph of good over evil. I felt more like I'd had a close call with evil myself, and barely gotten away." Thanks for this post very practicle..... Kent
