Don't Waste Your Life*

Proverbs 13:20
He who walks with wise men will be wise, But the companion of fools will suffer harm.

Beloveds, this weekend while Matthew was sick and we all sluggishly existed, the TV became central. I found, as always, the content and values of TV to be in direct opposition to God’s Word On the surface, many of the programs seem harmless, but they’re not. They are deceiving. Even, toxic to your mind.

Why is this? Most programs are written and produced by fools. A fool is someone who does not live according to the Word. They write and produce from an unregenerate heart. Therefore, don’t pollute your lives with their words, actions, and values.

A steady diet of TV is no different from “being a companion of fools”. God solemnly warns us: “The companion of fools will suffer harm” Don’t waste your life.* You were chosen, bought with a price, therefore glorify God with your body. That includes your actions and activities.

I love you.
