Cell Phone Jesus shifting to Media Jesus...

Today we shift from cell phone Jesus to media Jesus. I have been so excited to minister this series and it has been such a blessing to me as well. How much TV do you watch? How much YouTube do you watch? How many apps do you watch like Hulu, Paramount +, or Netflix? Does TV take up most of your time or is it something you do once in while or a small amount of time each day? For me, I watch tv sometimes a lot because of my son, loves the cars movies. outside of that, I watch The Three Stooges a lot lately, and comedians like Jeff Foxworthy, Tim Hawkins, and Playing for Change videos. Just like what I talked about on our cell phones we need to be intentional in what we watch on our TVs. There are many pitfalls and dangers that come with our TVs and throughout the media Jesus part of this series, I will talk about them.

Do not be deceived: “Bad company corrupts good morals. 1 Corinthians 15:33.  

and they exchanged the glory of the incorruptible God for an image in the form of corruptible mankind, of birds, four-footed animals, and crawling creatures. Romans 1:23.

May all those be ashamed who serve carved images, Who boast in idols; Worship Him, all you gods. Psalms 97:9.

So they exchanged their glory For the image of an ox that eats grass. Psalms 106:20.

All the verses above lead to one thing and that is bad things corrupt good morals and seeking things that are not of God can lead to not good things. (It does not say that in the verses itself about things not of God can lead to not good things but if you have read your Bible, you will know that that is the case because the further you read it will tell you that.)

Can TV be used for Good? Can TV only be evil? Can TV be used to reach people? What we watch does it matter or affect us? These are the questions I want you to think about before tomorrow and throughout this part of the series. Just like the Cell phone evaluation, we need to do the same for the TV. This time it will not be so much deleting apps but taking a look at what you watch and putting it to the Jesus test. The Jesus test is this. when you assess what you watch does it stack up with Jesus. Does it lead you farther away from God or closer to God? Take time today this Sunday to take the evaluation for your TV.
