I would like to state my opinions on things that might step on toes. And I mean all this in the most loving, Christian way possible. But, I have to get it out.
MTV, VH1, BET. What do they all have in common? They all try to put into our heads nasty images and that the earth has to be dramatic at all times to keep spinning. Now, really?! Is that what we need to be putting our time into? I have watched it. I dont know who probably hasnt tried it before. Its temptation and it seems to get the best of us. God says to run from temptation in 2 Timothy 2:22: "Run from anything that stimulates youthful lusts. Instead, pursue righteous living, faithfulness, love and peace." Go after the things of God. Want them. And ya know what? God knows that temptation will come. After all, satan tempted Jesus in the desert in Matthew 4, Mark 1:9-15, and Luke 4. But God gives us a way out. 1 Corinthians 10:13 says that the temptations in my life are no different than yours. God is faithful and He will always provide a way out if you do not want to fall into that temptation. He will not let us be tempted more than we can bear. Isnt that awesome!?! Now, I can think of some times when I have actually wanted to be tempted. Cause it is fun sometimes do just give in and do what you want and I have totally experienced that more than once. But just so you know,....God gives you a way out when you want it. And I hope you will take advantage of it. All those tv programs are about temptation. The people behind them want to attract people like us. Teens. And it works. But why do we watch them? Because they are interesting. I hope that when you are tempted this week that you will remember how Jesus was tempted and praise Him because He has never given in. HE IS ABSOLUTELY PERFECT. I also hope that you remember the verses in this post and know that God is with you. All the time. He loves you so much. Have a good week!
