TELEVISION

The word of God says the Christian should abstain from all appearance of evil, I Thess. 5:22. You touch not, taste not, handle not, Col. 2:21. All churches that preach the truth from the Holy, inspired Word of God, preach against Hollywood and all movies. How can anyone preach against movies and not preach against television? They are the same. The only difference is that you do not have to go to the theatre to see the movie now as Hollywood, the liquor industry and all kinds of wickedness have moved right into your homes with television.

Television is a rival of schools and churches, the feeder of lust, a perverter of morals, a tool of greed, a school of crime, a betrayal of innocence. It glorifies impurity as love; pictures murder as entertainment; exalts nakedness and indecency as beauty; shows drink, revelling, gambling, revenge, and gun fights as proper and legitimate. Television ruins the influence of a Christian, debauches the mind of children, inflames the lust of youth, and hardens the hearts of sinners.

The word of God says that every born again child of God is a witness for Christ, Matt. 10:32-33. That we should let our light so shine before men, that they may see our good works and glorify the Father which is in heaven, Matt. 5:16. Certainly a Christian could not be obedient to this command of God, and have a television in his home that glamourizes all types of sin. There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death, Prov. 16:25.
