Greetings and best wishes to you in this new year 2009. This morning as I was about to begin my day I re-entered the family room where my children and I had been eating breakfast and watching the Today show to catch some local news and weather. Much to my chagrin there was a commercial for the following half of the show in which a salacious video was playing and the voice over was saying they would teach men how to always get the most desirable woman. So much for commandment 7. Well, my 5 year old was standing in front of the TV when all of this was going on. Immediately I switched the channel, although really intending to hit the power button and before I could do that the next channel was saying, ". . . without any underwear." When? When? When am I going to get it? TELEVISION IS NOT FOR CHRISTIANS! Oh, we always switch the channel when those sinful commercials or subject matter comes on. But, now I see that because we cannot always be in the room, we shouldn't even have it on. All those snippets of sin heard and seen make an indelible impression on our minds, young and old. There is and account to be paid in the day of judgement when we neglect to guard the avenues of the soul. The angels' 1st message, "Fear God, and give glory to him; for the hour of his judgement is come." Rev. 14:7. How? "Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatever ye do, do all to the glory of God." 1Cor. 10:31.
