I want to share one more thought from this chapter (God, My Heart and Media) from Worldliness: Resisting the Seduction of a Fallen World. The author shares a great challenge about accountability concerning what we watch/read/listen to. He says:
If you’re a young person, you may have resisted your parents’ guidelines. You may have failed to communicate honestly about web sites you’ve visited or online conversations. If you’ve deceived your parents ans secretly exposed yourself to television, films, Internet sites or any other media that dishonors God, confess your sin and ask for your parents’ forgiveness and for ongoing accountability to them. If opening your life to others is foreign, you may see accountability as an unwelcome intrusion. I assure you it is not. Accountable viewing is a blessing and not a burden, for it positions us to experience the grace of God, the fellowship of his people, protection from sin and temptation, and the freedom of a clear conscience.
All I can add is, do it!
