  Scripture: Philippians 4:8, James 1:21

Summary: James 1:21 In-Context So get rid of every filthy habit and all wicked conduct. Submit to God and accept the word that he plants in your hearts, which is able to save you.James 1:21

Verses : Philippians 4:8, Proverbs 4:23-27, Matthew 12:35-37

Today, we address a pressing issue in our culture: the proliferation of filth in music videos, books, movies, and magazines. Sadly, the mantra "Filth sells" drives the entertainment industry, perpetuating a cycle of moral decay. Let's examine the biblical perspective on this matter.

Filth in media:

• Corrupts our minds and hearts (Proverbs 4:23-27)

• Desensitizes us to sin, leading to spiritual numbness (Matthew 12:35-37)

• Undermines God's design for relationships and sexuality (Philippians 4:8)

As believers, we must:

• Discerningly choose media that aligns with God's standards (Philippians 4:8)

• Guard our minds and hearts from pollution (Proverbs 4:23-27)

• Renew our minds with God's Word and pure thoughts (Romans 12:2)

So get rid of every filthy habit and all wicked conduct. Submit to God and accept the word that he plants in your hearts, which is able to save you.James 1:21

Let's break free from the chains of filth and uphold God's truth in our media choices. Remember, what we consume shapes our souls. May our lives radiate purity and honor Christ. Amen.
