The Immorality Of American Tv. Series

American TV has become a hub for sinful content, promoting immorality and contradicting biblical values. This sermon explores the issue, examining relevant Bible verses that highlight the importance of upholding God's standards.

"I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes..." (Psalm 101:3)

This verse emphasizes the importance of guarding our eyes and hearts from sinful content. American TV often fails to meet this standard, broadcasting shows that glorify immorality.

"Do not be conformed to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God's will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will." (Romans 12:2)

American TV often conforms to the world's standards, promoting self-centeredness and sin. In contrast, God calls us to be transformed by His Word, renewing our minds to align with His perfect will.

"The eye is the lamp of the body. If your eyes are healthy, your whole body will be full of light. But if your eyes are unhealthy, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light within you is darkness, how great is that darkness!" (Matthew 6:22-23)

What we watch shapes our inner lives. American TV's sinful content can fill our hearts with darkness, leading us away from God's truth.

"Let us walk honestly, as in the day; not in rioting and drunkenness, not in chambering and wantonness, not in strife and envying." (Romans 13:13)

American TV often glorifies sinful behaviours like drunkenness, sexual immorality, and strife. This contradicts God's call to walk honestly and uprightly.

"Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things." (Philippians 4:8)

This verse encourages us to focus on what is true, noble, and pure. American TV rarely meets these standards, prioritizing entertainment over edification.

American TV's sinful content and immorality contradict biblical values, leading viewers away from God's truth. As Christians, we must be discerning and faithful, recognizing the dangers of these shows and seeking alternative resources that align with God's Word. By doing so, we can uphold His standards and shine as lights in a dark world. "You are the light of the world. A town built on a hill cannot be hidden" (Matthew 5:14).
