Remote ConTroll

The last time that I did an article on the RemoteConTroll, it was about a show that was not good entertainment. This time I decided to do an article on something that might provide good entertainment.

There are many programs on television that teach or talk about the Bible. Sometimes they talk about history, or dinosaurs, or discoveries that they have made that prove the Bible’s validity. Those programs include: A&E, History Channel, and the Biography Channel. Sometimes they do talk about things that are contrary to the Bible, although many times they will talk about disasters that took place in the Bible times, or even the discovery of the ark on Mt. Ararat!

It is so refreshing to see the changes from all of the bad things that are on television now-a-days, to some shows that include some Bible based education. Some people may talk about how horrible today’s television is, but in my opinion, educational programs are getting more and more popular. And I am very excited about it. It is a great way to get more education without using a textbook.

Before watching these shows, be sure to look at the information about it on your television. Also, have your parents preview it or research it before you do watch it. They may have inappropriate words in them, or talk of evolution, which might confuse younger children.

Proverbs 15:3 says,
“The eyes of the Lord are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.” (KJV)

Since that is so, then I do not think that God would want to see some of the filth that goes on that television screen now-a-days. I think that he would be much more pleased if we were watching something about him or something with good morals and values. Not only should we be watching good things for his sake, but for our own. I do not know if every one here knows this, but whatever you see will stay in your mind FOR-EV-ER!

We owe it to God, much less to ourselves, to view holy things with our eyes. I would feel so guilty if I got married and I had impure thoughts in my mind. If you were to make a sign that says “Rated J”, for Jesus approved, and place it above your television, would you be able to view what you are watching? Just think on these things before the next time you sit down to watch something.

The Laundry

Ugh! Not the laundry again. How come it always has to be me? The soap, the suds, drying the laundry, folding the laundry…sometimes it’s a dread! All of these things come to mind when I do the laundry.

While I was doing that, I remembered that God can help us through hard situations like this. He’s always there when we need Him even if it’s a small problem like this. I also thought that we should try to purify our hearts more with God’s word and His righteousness.

Just like washing clothes they have to be cleaned and purified if they want to have a fresh new start. God can do that exact thing. All we have to do is call on Him. Hey, laundry isn’t so bad after all!!

Isaiah 1:18, "Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool." (KJV)

Dear God, thank you for washing away all of our sins by Jesus’ dying on the cross. Help us have pure hearts through your word. In Jesus’ name, amen.
