My theory is if you have to ask yourself if it is wrong to do then I would sence that is Someone telling me that I should not be feeding my spirit these things. There is a lot of junk out there and we Christians take it too lightly that there are things we should not open ourselves up to. We really do need to listen to our hearts about all things!! :emot-pray:

should christians watch tv. certainly no doctrinally based response. But as one christian to another i watch videos and dvds and thats about all apart from catching the news on the radio occassionally and i feel great. TV is no real loss at all.

The question of far more importance is ... is TV time driving a wedge between you and your allocated time with god?

If your conscious says "no" this is bad then don't watch it. if you don't have a guilty conscious then you are free to watch. Each person has to decide according to their own conscious towards God. but the one who has the freedom to watch should not condemn those who don't watch and those who don't have the freedom to watch should not condemn those who do watch for it is a matter of personal consciousness towards God and them. In other words "make up your own mind"

In general it is a waste of time. I think our spiritual life and relationship with Christ will be closer the less time spent watching T.V.

tv is horrible, but of course God trusts your decision. So like, if you know it's okay for you and your family, then go for it. Since God trusts your decision, it will be the right one. TV isn't for me, but maybe it's for you, and there's nothing at all wrong with that

I wouldn't say God trusts our decisions...I believe it's actually the other way around!...it all comes down to discernment. Following Phillipians 2:8-9 et. al...obviously, allowing straight-up filth such as graphic imagery, pornography, and the like is not what we're called to do as followers of Christ. But neither should we abandon all access to television on the basis that it's "secular"...we're not called to embrace all of culture; neither are we called to reject it all. Rather, we should seek to transform the world around us by our actions and words, just as Christ did while He walked this Earth. Blessings, A.P.

From my (thank you God) very limited recent viewing of television, I would guess that this scripture would speak against most of what is on TV...

Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good repute, if there is any excellence and if anything worthy of praise, dwell on these things.

Agreed here, and I would just point back to my previous post...

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
