I borrowed this illustration from Internet, very appropriate for the present times...
A father was asked by his teenage children if they could see a certain movie. He asked them what it was about, what was in it, etc. They responded that it was really good, had a great story, good moral tale, with just a little bit of violence, sex, nudity, profanity, bad attitudes, poor representation of parents/authority, unscriptural views of God and the world He made, inaccuracies of facts, and self-worship. He said he would think about it.
Meanwhile, he asked them to help him make a pan of brownies. While they were mixing the batter, he went out to the yard, got a little piece of dried dog poop, ground it up to a fine powder, and added it to the batter while they were mixing it. He put the pan in the oven and when they were done, asked them if they would like a piece. They all rejected it, to which he asked why. They stated the fact that it had dog poop in it. He asked them what's wrong, it's just a little bit, it was finely ground up, well distributed throughout, you won't even taste it. They still refused. He told them that he won't let them go see the movie, either
p.s. As Scripture says "a little leaven will ferment the whole lump of dough"
p.s.s. Let's see how many hits this post gets since the "Baptist dog" who set a new record....
