The Effects of Entertainment

On our Time On our Mind On our Influence

The Effects of Entertainment On Our Time – “I don’t have time.” (cf. Acts 24:25) Average time spent watching TV per day in the U.S. is 5 hours. Years the average person will have spent watching TV – 9 years.

The 23 rd Channel The TV is my shepherd, My spiritual growth shall want; It makes me to sit down and do nothing for His Name's sake. It requires all my spare time; It keeps me from doing my Christian duty. It produces so many good shows that I must see; It restores my knowledge of the world. It keeps me from the study of God's Word. It leads me in the path of failing to attend worship and doing nothing for the kingdom of God.

The 23 rd Channel Yea, though I live to be a hundred years old I shall view my TV as long as it works. It seems to be my closest companion; Its sounds and pictures they comfort me. It provides entertainment for me and keeps me from doing important things with my family. It fills my head with ideas which differ from God's will. Surely, because of all the wasted hours there will be a lack of reward at the Gates of Heaven; I shall not dwell in the house of the LORD forever.

The Effects of Entertainment “Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy--meditate on these things” (Philippians 4:8).
