Question:
Dear Greg,
Do
you think it is ok for a Christian to read the Christian Science Monitor
newspaper considering whom it is published by?
I hear it is actually a good newspaper.
Sue
Answer: Dear Sue,
I
do not believe that the Christian Science Monitor is any more of a danger for a
Christian to read than Time magazine, the New York Times or a local hometown
newspaper. While I would not
personally make the Monitor my main source of news, I do not believe that a
Christian will leave the faith if he or she reads it.
Similarly, simply because we as Christians read, listen to or watch
so-called Christian media, it does not mean that we can give away the door to
our minds. Unbiblical teaching is
often more easily accepted when the source is considered to be above suspicion
rather than when we are on guard for bias, error and/or heresy.
In
Christ,
