Over the fence.

Most children would be happy it, when they wanted to play soccer, they had a wide, flat, green field, with goals set up, and properly marked areas outlined with white lines. This would be just about all they needed, so what would you think if those children started climbing over the fence around the field and kicked the ball around in the long grass, thistles, rubbish and holes surrounding the field? Crazy kids!

God has given to Christians a Bible, the Holy Spirit and many good teachers. He has also provided a conscience and of course the Spirit, which means that Jesus is a close friend and helper.

So what business do Christians have going off to read books full of worldly wisdom, or exploring the occult, or watching movies about demons, witchcraft or some other wickedness? Crazy Christians!

God has given us an abidance of truth and good things, so there is no need for us to go wandering about in Satan's domain.

The Bible says "We have not received the spirit of the world but the Spirit who is from God, that we may understand what GOd has freely given us"
(1 Corinthians 2:12 New International Version)
