When it comes to movies, I think a Christian ought to first check out what is going to be in this film. There are many websites that can tell you and show you the kinds of things you will encounter in a film. There are some things that will cause me to immediately say I cannot see this movie and no Christian should see this movie. But there are other circumstances where I would have to say other Christians might be able to see this movie but I cannot see this movie because it appeals to a particular weak point that I might have. For instance, it doesn’t tempt me or do anything to me to see a depiction of someone drinking alcohol in a movie, or even being drunk in a movie. That doesn’t tempt me toward drunkenness, but I have friends who because of this particular point of vulnerability if they were to go to a movie in which that kind of thing is presented it would make them very vulnerable, they cannot watch it.
