And 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. .Acts 19:19
These new Christians really understood the benefits of complete repentance. They recognized that their former interests and hobbies would drag them away from their new life in Christ. They didn't store them just in case they would backslide later. They got rid of them. What do we have in our lives that really need to go away? Perhaps we have books, magazines, music, and movies that will take us away from God. Let's not sell them in a yard sale and give the trouble to others. Let's trash them, turn completely to our new life in Jesus, and make it part of our testimony.
