Not new news but "news" again nevertheless. I read it today.
It seems some of those who are in authority and supposedly exercising wisdom on our behalf, have just come up with yet more explicit material to feed the nation's five year olds. Many will agree that this is unsuitable material for such young children.
We learned about the magic suit of clothes by virtue of the song broadcast at times on the BBC. Long before that song, there were blind leaders of the blind. Nothing is new under the sun. In the song, the crowd and the king couldn't or wouldn't admit the truth.
This year we celebrate the 400th anniversary of the King James Bible. Still relevant for us. Well, whilst attempting to handle this topic and arrive at a satisfactory standard and level of material, it would be well for us all to heed the warning in Matthew 8:6-7:-
6 But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.
7 Woe unto the world because of offences! for it must needs be that offences come; but woe to that man by whom the offence cometh! (KJV)
Educate but don't offend the little ones. Protect the innocent.
