It seems great to have a home entertainment centre; all sorts of things to amuse us and while
away the time. There is sport, there is
drama, quiz shows and “reality T.V.” What could be better to watch in the
comfort of our homes? And it seems so
important to keep up with world events, to be in the know about what our
politicians are saying. Would we invite
a poisonous snake or a marauding bull into our homes among our family? The T.V.
is not always, but often an open sewer flooding anti-God propaganda into our
homes. It tells us we need to be young
and beautiful and spend a fortune on face creams and make-up. To put great effort
into building up our bodies, if we are men, and slimming them down to a ridiculous,
not to say unhealthy, tiny weight if we are women. It tells us we should strive to be a pop
singer, which if successful often leads to a lifestyle including drug taking.
Evolution is anti-God and there is plenty about that on the T.V. So think long and hard before you switch on
the T.V. again. And if you do switch it
on try to watch and listen with ears that want to hear what God wants for
you. Be discerning, don’t just lap it
up. Would you drink poison even if it
was laced with your favourite drink?
Would you put poison on the plate with the food your children eat? Maybe
you are allowing the T.V. to fill their heads with values and suggestions you
would prefer them not to hear and see. The T.V. is dangerous.
I have written in previous posts about disasters. In the case of Concorde, decisions by people, plus other factors were directly to blame for the event. In the case of the Penlee disaster it may have been avoided if someone had made a better choice in the time beforehand and as a consequence brave men and the ship's crew and the captain and his family died. 9/11 was certainly the result of wicked men committing a terrorist act, but even in this there was heroism notably by another Cornish man, Rick Rescorla who helped many to safety and left it too late to help himself. In situations like this we see what the human spirit is capable of both good and evil. What of disasters that come on people because of the earth restless movement of tectonic plates. Often people live near volcanoes because the land is rich and fertile and they have the chance of a better life there when the volcano is resting. We cannot blame them for that but sometimes people become complacent...
