i think watching the news is pretty much a sin at this point
philippians 4:8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or praiseworthy--think about such things. the news is nothing but racism, shootings, transvestites, tragedies, economic problems etc etc etc this is one thing i believe many christians overlook.. they don't think the news is wrong.. and i'm not dissing them for it- if they don't feel its wrong then cool however my thought is just this: why plant the negative thoughts and ideas and happenings in our minds? why do we subject ourselves to it? i mean if you watch the news and it makes you angry, or ashamed to live in america, or it makes you sigh or shake your head in disgust, or it makes you fearful and afraid, then i don't know what to tell you.. maybe you shouldn't watch it.. why do you justify it if its not bringing anything of value into your life? that's my perspective.. i am not saying this as some kind of elitist, but i don't have cable.. and i don't want it i think 90% of tv is pretty demonic.. all these shows about debauchery and scandalous behavior.. and some start out semi-wholesome but by the 2nd or 3rd season every character is gay but the news doesn't get a pass from me either our parents used to tell us, if you can't say something positive don't say anything at all how many of u reading this would enjoy talking to someone on the phone who only has bad news to share every day? u would let it go to voicemail THE NEWS DOESN'T GET A PASS
