You can’t listen to the radio without hearing pornographic lyrics talking about things that should not even be named among Christians (Eph 5:3). Our kids are enthralled by singers who normalize wickedness. Look at the video games that hold the top selling and most players. Most all of them feature mass killing, violence, gutter themes. Our kids spend hours living in the fantasy world every day.
Is it any wonder that kids are killing kids with no remorse? Is it any wonder that sexual violence and misconduct is forefront in our society?
Take time to monitor what you allow in your home, on your phone, your video games, YouTube, Vimeo, etc.
Ask your children who their favorite singer is. Sit down with them and play their games. Spend a few hours following their YouTube history, Facebook history. Find out who their best friends are and what they like.
The more good we can put into their hearts and minds the better they will be. The devil is standing ready to fill their mind with evil and sin so don’t give him even a second of their time.
By the way, we adults could use some inventory control on what we are feeding our hearts and minds. If our kids see us watching worldly programming they will follow in our steps.
