*"The Media & Your Choice"*
_Key Bible Text:_
*"Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things."* (Philippians 4:8 (KJV))
_Bible Insight:_
Evidently, the media is heavily saturated with all kinds of frivolous, distracting, immoral and sensual stuff and this has led many down the road of perversion and depravity. Sometimes, one is tempted to cancel the entire media, especially social media, but when we think more deeply, we see that the real problem is with the choices people are making. The same Internet and media is full of edifying materials. Let me start with spiritual growth. The first time I read some well detailed materials on the Christian faith, I found the materials online. I even registered for a free correspondence bible course! There are YouTube channels dedicated to explaining the bible, FB walls and pages devoted to the same, and many others.
What about personal development? People are getting Google & Coursera certifications freely as they learn new skills. Many programs are out there today to be accessed freely - thousands of courses. Mind shifting, life altering courses capable of boosting your earning power and increasing your employability. YouTube is like a university for skill acquisitions.
Same media.
But all some feed on are the dark and nasty contents? All that some get drunk on are skits and comedies? Fake news? Dragging here and there? That's all you burn your data on while someone else is learning and improving and getting better in life. Some people cannot tell the story of their life's transformation without talking about the opportunities the media has afforded them, yet some cannot talk about their setbacks and misfortunes without talking about the negative impact of the media.
Same media.
Thing is, the media just like life itself, will offer you GOOD and EVIL; LIFE and DEATH. But it's up to you to make the right choice. Before you blame the social media, ask yourself, who were the people you were hanging out with before FB and Twitter happened? What were the things you spent time with? Were you really particular about self development or you were just loose and frivolous? Chances are that you simply found more of the type of people or things you engaged with offline when you joined these platforms.
_MEDITATION:_
*"The media is here to serve you whatever appeals to you. If you fix your choice, the media will become your advantage, not your undoing."*
