Have you ever noticed when we you put put good things in, good things generally come out? When bad things go in, bad things generally come out? It doesn't matter if it is your car, your home, relationships, body or mind. If I eat junk all the time, I become fat and don't feel good physically or about myself. If I put bad gas into my car or don't properly maintain it, it will fall apart. If I mistreat others, or am not nice to them, they in turn will not be nice to me. This all seems like common sense right?
Why do we constantly put negative and bad things into our minds by selling out to the rest of the world? The stuff on TV today is mostly junk. Please understand I am not saying everything is bad. There are some great shows and wonderful info on the web. However, I know how easy it is to say "it's ok, because it is only entertainment". But is it really? Think about shows like Desperate Housewives. I have never seen it, nor will I ever. But seriously, is this show going to teach you how to be a better wife or husband? I can't imagine it would. So much of the television and internet is nothing other than glorifying others, money, sex, drugs, and other things we shouldn't want anything to do with. If God isn't in it, satan is. Life always seems to become tougher when we allow satan to come into our lives. So if we continue to allow these things into our minds, we won't become the people Jesus called us to be.
I would like to challenge you to keep from watching such bad TV, listening to negative music, and staying away from impure things on the web. Let's see how different things will become if you avoid it for 3 weeks. You can do anything for 3 weeks! Let's see how different your mind starts viewing the world. I believe you will be pleasantly surprised.
God bless,
Brandon
