If you are struggling in an area, put in something that will strengthen you in your weak area.
Take an inventory on what you are feeding your mind.
Avoid people who gossip, are negative, and are critical.
Watch out, or you'll pick up their attitudes.
Avoid destructive TV shows, music, and video games.
If you allow them, they will bring you down. Satan is trying to drag you down.
Viewing movies with nudity, violence, and bad language is like digging around in a garbage can while looking for something good.
It chips away at your values.
What you eat will eventually become you.
In the same way, what you look at and hear will eventually show up in your behavior.
Sex is what sells in our society.
We should only think upon things that are pure and wholesome.
What you sow will eventually show up in your actions.
It desensitizes you to it.
Don't watch programs of people cheating on their spouses.
You'll eventually think that it's okay.
TV likes to match up people who are not married.
In Matthew 12:35, Jesus warned about what we put into our hearts.
Change the channel when something bad comes on. The mind can take things in that we are not aware of.
Just don't leave the TV on in the background. Your mind will pick it out.
Be on guard of video games because they devalue life.
God will hold you responsible for what you allow your children to do.
Don't use TV as a baby sitter.
Flip off bad commercials during ball games.
Things that we watch are being recording in our minds.
Be careful of what you allow inside the temple of your body.
You may not be able to do everything that your friends are doing.
Think about Samson. God had a divine purpose for Samson's life.
He had a weakness in his character, which was he couldn't control what he looked at.
He couldn't keep his mind on the right things.
He lived in mediocrity.
God allowed the Philistines to puck out his eyes.
Take an inventory of what you are putting into your mind.
Find yourself good things to watch.
(notes from Joel Osteen)
