For decades I did not watch TV. I watch some Christian TV now, rarely. I watch a movie over a period of weeks. I watch a few youtube documentaries.Here's another post of his on TV:
Get Rid of TV
"When the Apostle Paul wrote his letter to the Romans, he says this to those Christians who want to follow after JESUS. “But now having been set free from sin, and having become slaves of GOD, you have your fruit to holiness, and the end, everlasting life. For the wages of sin is DEATH, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.” Anyone wanting to follow Jesus has to get SIN OUT OF THER LIFE. That can only happen by you choosing to REPENT and call on the name of JESUS CHRIST. Many Christians are under the FALSE impression that the don’t have to do anything, they don’t have to lift a finger. They say that Jesus has already done everything for them on the cross, now they can kick back and watch TV. If you are not willing to get the things OUT of your life that are a hinderance, you won’t be ale to follow Jesus. Many Christians are addicted to their TV, to the movies, to worldliness, they just want to be entertained, but they could care less to hear from Jesus AND GO WITH HIM. If you are still sinning you are a slave to sin, but if you really are following Jesus you are a new slave to righteousness. Are you really going with Jesus? Are you HIS slave? Or are you still a slave to SIN? May the grace of Jesus be with you."
The obsession with sin is a blight on the church. It annoys me. Being set free from sin is the fundamental. Anyone who loves sin is kidding themselves if they think that they are born again.
Jesus did not come just to make sure we clean up our act. We need much more than being saved from sin. We need to be saved from ourselves. I've met outwardly holy Christians who are as hard as nails. I've met others who had some unresolved issues who love the Lord and the brethren. You don't need TV to be entertained. Just go to your local megachurch or the would be megachurch and enjoy the music, comedy and sing along.
Lord Jesus came that we might have life eternal, not a better lifestyle. Teach people who they are in Christ and who Christ is in them. Teach them to walk in the Spirit - by example, not just in words. A truly born again Christian hates sin. That does not mean instant freedom from all sin. It's a process. Anyone who believes in instant perfection is kidding themselves.
