I’m continually amused at the favorite choices of Facebook friends when it comes to what they watch, listen to and read.
Many of these mostly young people claim to be spiritually and morally conservative. Yet the movies and TV shows listed on the social networking site belie those beliefs. The salacious programs and motion pictures they watch promote premarital and extramarital sex, display horrific violence, and contain vulgar language.
Ironically, many of these same people often list tame contemporary Christian artists as their musicians of choice, and the Bible as the book they love.
There seems to be a disconnect here. While Scripture certainly contains accounts of sexual sin and gore, it’s balanced out with God’s ideals of love and purity. Not so with today’s media.
