Sinful Technology or Sinful Content?

I only listen to Christian stations.

Whether you choose to admit it or not, people remember more of what they see than what they hear. This is a known fact. The sad thing is, my co-worker who is a sinner, will admit that Hollywood pushes sin. She'll admit it, but no one on this forum will. That's just sad.

I admit that Hollywood pushes sin.

satan pushes temptation towards me on a daily basis, but I don't have to give in.

With free will, I can choose to avoid sin.

With the Holy Ghost I have access to the power to overcome that sin-- so that no matter what's going on in or around me I can stand.

However, I can make it easier for me to stand by not exposing my eyes to the things that are most tempting to me and by monitoring my own thoughts.


Of course the technology is not sinful, but there are some battles I just won't have to fight by keeping some of our world's technology out of my bedroom and in plain view of others in my home as I "do what I have to do" in order to keep my testimony.


Being cautious with my freedom preserves my freedom.

Convictions and consecrations are personal and should never be applied in a "one size fits all" manner.
