More Reasons to Quit

Recently I posted Another Reason to Quit, a plea for Christians to turn off the TV and DVD players.  Well, this week I went to the local corner video store to find something reasonable to watch with my children.  After 35 minutes of perusing EVERY AISLE  in the store, I found ONE video that would be acceptable for children to watch.  I found MAYBE three that might possibly be tolerable for an adult Christian.

Let me tell you what else I found:

1. At least three videos about pornography (not including the ones that would merely include the usual smut, these were actual documentaries, “comedies” and movies about the subject)
2. That 30% + of the whole store was movies in the “horror” genre
3. That the “family” section was the only area that might be useful, and only 15% of THAT might be clean.

Friends, we make the mistake of grading filth.  It is either good, or not good.  Debating about shades of black or grey is useless.  Step into the light, and view it from God’s perspective.

P.S.  That is the last time I step into that particular store, and it will be some time before I venture into another video store.  There may be the occasional edible tidbit, but I am not convinced it is worth wading through acres of garbage to find it.
