'And if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into *** fire—where
‘ Their worm does not die
And the fire is not quenched.’
-Mark 19:47
"Godly womanhood ... the very phrase sounds strange in our ears. We never hear it now. We hear about every other type of women: beautiful women, smart women, sophisticated women, career women, talented women, divorced women. But so seldom do we hear of a godly woman - or of a godly man either, for that matter.We believe women come nearer to fulfilling their God-given function in the home than anywhere else. It is a much nobler thing to be a good wife, than to be Miss America. It is a greater achievement to establish a Christian home than it is to produce a second-rate novel filled with filth. It is a far, far better thing in the realms of morals to be old-fashioned, than to be ultra-modern. The world has enough women who know how to be smart. It needs women who are willing to be simple. The world has enough women who know how to be brilliant. It needs some who will be brave. The world has enough women who are popular. It needs more who are pure. We need women, and men, too, who would rather be morally right than socially correct."
- Former U.S. Senate Chaplain Peter Marshall

This was such a wonderful message. Thank you so much for sharing it. It sounded very much like a series that our pastor is preaching about the dangers of familiarity with the world and the absolute imperative that we must be separate from worldly values and lifestyle.
I got rid of my television many years ago, and have never missed it. The pervasive, wicked influence it has is evident in our culture everywhere.
Thank you again for such a wonderful message. "And if it seem evil unto you to serve the Lord, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord." (Joshua 24:15)
Glad you enjoyed it!
We do own a TV, but rarely use it. However, I have been struggling with watching too many movies online, wanting to be entertained. Even if they are clean movies (I try), they are not always the thing that I should be doing, especially if it comes before or ahead of my worship and delight in the Lord!
