Hebrews 5:14 "But solid food is for the mature, for those who have their powers of discernment trained by constant practice to distinguish good from evil."
It's frankly becoming more and more difficult to do what this verse says. Our society today so blurs the line between what is good and what is evil that its hard sometimes for even us Christians to distinguish.
Our media doesn't help either. Movies, television shows, magazines - you name it - shout to us that if we say something is sin then we have sinned. Pretty soon we end up with moral relativism - what's good in a situation is good everywhere.
We also end up with post-modernism. Post-modernism says that each of us has a bit of the truth and that if we get together and share our truths then that is the truth for that situation. This philosophy basically says there is no such thing as absolute truth.
I think that is in fact not true. I firmly believe that God's Word - handed down to us through the prophets and apostles is truth and we better listen to it at our own peril.
My word today is just be careful little ears what you see. I'm not advocating you smash in your TV, but pay much closer attention to the values behind the shows, and practice determining good from evil by comparing what you see and hear to what God says.
