We Become What We Watch
What Entertainment Does to Our Minds

Excerpt quote:

We want our minds to be a hospitable place for righteousness to dwell. How do we do that? We do it in the same way the immoral entertainment industry tries to educate and acclimate our minds to unrighteousness. Our minds become a home for righteous thinking when we regularly and submissively soak ourselves in God’s word — either by reading or listening — and let God himself (through his word) be the tutor that shapes and transforms us most. God’s word is more powerful than a movie. It is more insightful and compelling than social media.

Amen.

Few people are willing. (as Jesus lamented also, over Jerusalem, and said He would have gathered them under His wings and nurtured them, but they would not. They were not willing. Same today most places.)

I forget which preacher it was, but the analogy of our minds as a water pipe is one that resonated the most.

If the pipe is rusted, all the water passing through it is affected. All of our thoughts, prayers, meditations on scripture etc pass through our mind, so what we allow to influence our minds is a real consideration.

This is so true. I found myself dreaming about CF threads just the other night. And, with the bickering, arguing, condemnations, and overall bufoonery, it was downright immoral. Not good. I ask myself, "What am I feeding my mind?"

:sorry:
