Think About Such Things

My boss started me down this road because he heard these figures... So I did the math myself in order to see what it worked out to. According to U.C. Berkely, the average American watches 170 mintues of TV per day. My boss heard a comparison to the amount of TV watch and time spent in church by the time one reaches age 65. So here is what this figures out to be...

At age 65 = 7.65 YEARS spent watching TV.
At age 65 = 1.5 years (IF you spend 4 hours per week) in Church.

That is a difference of 6 years with our minds filled with junk. In light of my recent focus on the importance of our mind as the battle ground with the enemy, this is a critical difference. Unfortunately, too many of us expect that we will learn what we need to from Church but obviously we don't spend enough time there to combat other influences. The real answer then lies in studying for ourselves! So what's your mind on today?

Eph 4:8-9
8Finally, brothers, 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. 9Whatever you have learned or received or heard from me, or seen in me—put it into practice. And the God of peace will be with you.
