THE 'T V PUSH-AWAY'
WORKS LIKE THIS---
You are sitting comfortably
before the TV when something comes on ... gets your interest ...
which soon offends your spirit just the slightest.
TURN IT OFF TO
THE GLORY OF GOD!
TURN IT OFF WITH A PRAYER: "Father, I want You
to fill my mind, and not this garbage! Amen."
Ask God for a holy ANGER! Ask the Holy Spirit to show you
your own shortcomings ... how prone we humans are to actually
enjoy the exposure of great sins in others while at the same time
we excuse the sins we consider "small" that we harbor in our own
thought life!
Sins like: harsh judgment of others ... an unloving,
critical spirit ... any kind of double-dealing-- of lying by
implication ... we must shun-- turn away-- reject anything like
this, anything that is not of God's Spirit.
And why should we turn away from evil? (1) Because of other
people's personal convictions? NO (2) because of legalistic
standards? NO (3) Because of fear of what people might say?
NO
We turn away from evil because IF WE TURN AWAY WE SHALL
ENJOY GOOD HEALTH! So many people are not robust, healthy
Christians because they have never been convinced of the need to
HATE SIN as well as to LOVE THE LORD!
