I live with my family and it is so easy for them to sit in front of the TV for hours. I can't because I have been convicted by many of the things on TV. Whenever I watch something I ask myself. "Does it glorify sin?", "Does it blaspheme God?", "Does it use profane language?", "Is the humor crude and vulgar?". Because of this only once in a while do I watch something and its usually a kids movie.
What does watching television do? I portrays sin with humor and nonchalance. The humor is often sexual. It does not compel a person to seek Christ. It deadens one's conscience.
So I flee but I must admit I did go to the last Fast and Furious movie that I might spend time with my brother, but I sincerely hated that movie. I love my family, I just can't watch what they do. So I find myself crocheting in a quiet room. Spending my quiet time with the Lord there. I am glad that my peace rests on Christ and not on man. It is well with my soul. I just pray that people would see the glory of God and that it would make this song true for them.
O soul, are you weary and troubled?
No light in the darkness you see?
There's a light for a look at the Savior,
And life more abundant and free!
Refrain
Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace.
Through death into life everlasting
He passed, and we follow Him there;
Over us sin no more hath dominion—
For more than conquerors we are!
Refrain
His Word shall not fail you—He promised;
Believe Him, and all will be well:
Then go to a world that is dying,
His perfect salvation to tell!
Refrain
