-Isaiah 40:31-

Those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will sour on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.

John Piper's Don't Waste Your Life- TV, Internet and You

Television- Friend or Foe?
When TV first came out, you would never find a "Victoria's Secret" commercial or a "Viagra" Ad.  Shows were rarely racy or contraversial. Sometime after the 50's or 60's (No idea exactly lol) shows became more racy and commercials followed.
TV can be either bad or good. First, ways that it can be good..

Ways that TV is Good

  • Weather Update, Political Updates, Crime Updates, School Closings, and ETC.
  • TBC (some of the time)
  • see your kid's football game
  • Some shows
  • Oklahoma Sooners Football Games  ( OU!!!)
  • And More

But Tv has some problems Such as

 Ways that TV can be Bad

  • Mature content
  • Gore
  • distract from important things
  • obtain unwanted behaviors (usually in younger kids, who tend to mimic TV and movies)
  • Junk Shows (Jershey Shore *sorry people*, Skins, and other pointless shows)
  • annoyingly memorized shows (Spongebob.... *cough*)
  • unwanted info (yeah....)
  • time loss
The main ways that Tv has negatively affected me are

Ways that ...well you know what i mean

  • Time Loss
  • Distraction from important things
  • wasting my time with dumb shows
Sadly, I'd have to say i spend way more time with electronics than I have with God... I need to spend less time worrying about the world and more time praising Him who Created the world.

In Closing, Tv like anything can be either bad or good... so will you choose to waste your life.. or redeem?


(To be Continued....)
