Be a Rebel

Decision Point Video Session 1.4

Choices you make now are going to matter later in your life in ways that you have not even imagined. I'm going to ask you to consider what you see in modern culture. What is the message today in movies, television shows, lyrics, and in advertisements?
We are told, "We need help to be beautiful, handsome, or cool. Things will make us happy. What we have is not enough. It is cool to break rules." and so much - worse. Sex is casual. Violence is glamorized. Insulting is funny. Deviance is shown as  mainstream and moral virtue as wierd. Adults are portrayed as fools and children as the wise ones in control. Can you name a modern show where at least one of these is not shown? Think about it. Post it below.
I want to challenge you to revolt against modern culture. When was the last time you watch something on TV that helped you become a-better-version- of-yourself? The Bible says if your eye causes you to sin cut it out. I am encouraging you to cut out television. Don't watch for a month. What could you do with that time instead? Don't replace it with violent video games or other substitutes that don't promote the best version of yourself. Change your radio stations to christian radio stations. What if you fed your mind only positive messages for a month? Be a rebel!
