Sit Com, Soap, Reality. Sin

Turn on the TV today what do you see? Is there any reason at all to protect yourself? Is any of it harmful?

Over the past few months God has really worked with me on this issue. He has shown me a few things about watching TV, here are a few:

If we want a great marriage we shouldn't watch a show every so often that capitalizes on the humor of crappy marriages.

If we want pure minds and strong commitment to our significant other we shouldn't watch shows that place sexual temptation in front of us.

If we aren't going to commit any crimes (which hopefully no one is even thinking of this) we shouldn't watch shows that make crime glamorous and fascinating.

If we want to get along with others we shouldn't pollute our minds with drama and fighting.

For me to be a better Christ Follower, I have had to reduce the TV.
Cliche...What Would Jesus Do?

I really wonder where our culture, in the Church and out of the Church would go if we stopped being influenced by Hollywood and replaced that influence with Jesus.
