CNN has posted an editorial by Jane Wells, who has written a book entitled Glitter in the Sun: Searching for Truth in the Twilight Saga. The post is entitled My Take: 5 reasons Christians should love 'Twilight'.
Wells' arguments include these two gems:
1. Humans crave divine perfection.
Yes, and only Jesus achieved it. We are able to approach God only under the covering He provides through His once-for-all, perfect sacrifice for mankind's rebellion against God and His ways.
2. You'll only really fit in after you accept what God has designed you for.
Jesus said we will not fit in - not in this life. Further, He designed us to love Him and serve Him only. It is through this relationship that we learn our purpose. Our purpose can be achieved only in God's divine plan, which is ultimately not designed for our glory, happiness, or pleasure (though all three inevitably result.)
My take: Jane Wells is looking at her faith through the eyes of the world, instead of looking at the world through the eyes of her faith.
