18Many also of those who had believed kept coming, confessing and disclosing their practices.
19And many of those who practiced magic brought their books together and began burning them in the sight of everyone; and they counted up the price of them and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.
20So the word of the Lord was growing mightily and prevailing.
When we, as Christians, become convicted of some material item we own being sinful for us to own (e.g. certain cds, dvds, magazines, etc.), we should not decide to get rid of it by selling it or giving it away. Instead, we should destroy it so its sinfulness (evil) cannot affect anyone else. Sounds legalistic? Deep down, what do you think Christ would really say? Actually, what has He already said on the matter?
