Hate what is evil…
June 28, 2011Moving along in Romans 12, continuing in verse 1, we come to good v. evil. Before I obtained my new eyes in Christ (II Cor. 5:17), except for the most disturbing or vile content, I was comfortable with most TV shows, novels, etc. Of course, in those days, things were not as graphic as they are today. In Christ, through the Holy Spirit, I have experienced a gradual putting away of bad language, and a deepenging awareness of the darkness which permeates most of the airwaves today. I have also realized that most of the dramatic shows on TV today center around death.
As my spiritual heart becomes clean and whole, my discomfort with evil becomes stronger. It is a tool of the evil one to put his garbage into our souls. He is the Prince of the Air (and, I think, the airwaves fit into that category also). It amazes me that on the rare occasions that programing is healthy and uplifting, even though the ratings are high, the shows are taken off.
Not only in the entertainment industry, our advertising, but now even in our schools, everything appeals to the flesh and the lower part of our nature.
There is enough unscripted evil in this world without more piling on top at every level. The enemy has established a strong beachhead into this society and throughout the entire globe.
Unfortunately, including myself, we remain silent and accepting, like sheep led to the slaughter, or a frog boiled in water.
If nothing changes, nothing changes.

The god of this world does have control and will continue to undermine any attempts at good positive TV, radio or popular music.
We can expect no less.
I am also drawn in by certain television shows, though, like you, I am starting to shy away from crime dramas where murder is the crime.
I am starting to lean toward programs where hard work has its reward. Ice Road Truckers and the Crab fishermen come to mind.
Bringing this home is Philippians 4:8
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
Rick
