Jesus or T.V.?
Viewed Last 24 Hours: 1 time

By James Pemberton

What Are You Watching On T.V.?

 

I refuse to accept the immorality on t.v.

I can't believe what many

Christians watch and see.

 

Every sort of wickedness and

lust is now on the screen.

How can one be Godly,

when the eyes are “unclean?”

 

Your body is to be the temple

of the Holy Spirit.

It's one thing to say...another to live it.

 

Be careful of what you allow

your family to watch.

Godliness in your household must be taught.

 

Cling to that which is wholesome,

virtueous and good.

Watch the kind of shows only

a Christian should.

 

The temptations on television

try to allure.

So dwell on thoughts that

are clean and pure.

 

What kind of choices in your

life have been made?
Are you living in victory—

or television's slave?

 

Remember that for you, our savior

came and died.

Living 100% for Jesus can you

truly be satisfied...

About the Poet
I and my wife have 4 grown children and currently live in the Pacific Northwest. I've spent much of my life doing volunteer work in the food distribution for the needy among local churches. Many of the poems I've written are a reflection of times of adversity as a reminder of God's love and faithfulness. I've found many opportunities to share my poems with those who are hurting and discouraged. I'm thankful for the reports of many of the poems touching people's lives. I hope that the poems included on Wordchimes will touch and bless your life too!
