Mental Adultery

I wish I had more time to post but something really struck me last night as we were discussing entertainment during the premiere of LOST. A horror movie trailer came on and we all agreed with the fact that the Horror genre has gotten so far beyond the ability to enjoy that it's sickening.

It made me wonder, what are the implications of what Jesus says about anger and lust in Matt 5:21-30 for the movies we watch. Are we committing murder and adultery by simply watching what occurs on the screen? And if that is the case, what does it look like to glorify God with our entertainment?

Just some thoughts ... I'll come back and think through them with you some more later.
