I'm not sure what you're trying to...Kevin,<br /><br />I'm not sure what you're trying to say. Perhaps you could clarify. But I agree with your question, what is secular? What defines a book as secular? What about music? Some is distinctly Christian, some is not. I think when many Christians use the term secular, they mean worldly. <br /><br />Truth seekers find truth, but is it possible that people stumble upon truth without seeking out, or even when they're trying to deny it?Margaret Braunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11168380724290828747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7796727711578605861.post-74784918541322513552011-07-19T13:49:27.622-04:002011-07-19T13:49:27.622-04:00I do have a difficult time navigating through this...I do have a difficult time navigating through this though. In my personal story, before I knew Christ, I was strongly opposed to anything that literally gave Jesus His proper place. What I do know for sure, is that truth is truth, no matter what form it reveals itself. What is secular anyway? Are the heaven's secular? Is creation secular? They don't literally spell out the name of Christ, but they do proclaim the greatness of our God. Is my laptop secular? How about my carpet? If my carpet is secular, can I walk on it?<br /> Much of the Bible is in itself, story; especially the Old Testament. We find stories about real people, what they did and what came out of the lives they lived. If we took out all of the stories from the Bible, what would be left? <br /><br /> Truth seekers find truth.Kevin Abellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04944002689927908930noreply@blogger.com
