In Season 4 of Stranger Things, the kids from Hawkins battle evil in the form of the monster Vecna. The plot is intense, the characters are interesting, and the visuals are stunning. Themes of trauma and growth are explored. Despite this, some of the storylines may seem rambling. I wish for more clarity in the plot, character development and impressive visuals in the future.
My rating: 8/10

10 Out of the same mouth proceedeth blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not so to be. 11 Doth a fountain send forth at the same place sweet water and bitter? 12 Can the fig tree, my brethren, bear olive berries? either a vine, figs? so can no fountain both yield salt water and fresh. James 3:10-12 Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of devils; ye cannot be partakers of the Lord’s table and of the table of devils. 1 Corinthians 10:21 14 Be ye not unequally yoked together with unbelievers: for what fellowship hath righteousness with unrighteousness? and what communion hath light with darkness? 15 And what concord hath Christ with Belial? or what part hath he that believeth with an infidel? 16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 17 Wherefore come out from among them, and be ye separate, saith the Lord, and touch not the unclean thing; and I will receive you. 2 Corinthians 6:14-17
Throughout the entire Bible we hear of the warnings and consequences of trying
to be on the side of the world and the side of God. How come we so often
mix our words with blessings and cursings? How can we claim to be of the light
if we talk like those who are in darkness? As it is said in James can a fountain
send forth sweet and bitter water at the same place or a fig tree bear olive
berries? We have been told and the truth will set us free and here we have it.
Let us put away all cursings and become a fountain of blessings.
Prayer
Father we thank you for your truth. We know how foolish and stubborn we can
be and we thank you for your patience. You have warned us many times about being a partaker of both sides and we are deeply sorry for all the times we have
not listened to you. We turn from cursings to blessings and ask to help us
stay on your path. Thank you Father. Praise be thy name, Amen.
