Televisions, PC’s and the Temple of Christ
TV and computers are mindless unlearned pieces of technology that may be used for good or evil. We in many respects are the same and may purpose good or evil by our response to God as Cain and Able were examples of this.
The problem we as a God loving and fearing people need to address is; The Christian life, faith and consecration of ourselves in relationship to our creator.
We will never be able to eradicate sin from our environment this side of heaven, though it should not rule over us, but we over sin through Christ!
Rom 7:20
Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
We will always have to resist the sin that lies at the door awaiting the opportunity to overcome us and destroy our relationship with God.
The Temple of the Lord of which ye are if the Spirit of Christ be in you; must be strong, we are over comers by the Spirit.
Sin has no power over the consecrated Temple. However many are weak and have no power because they continue to hide and flee from the enemy rather then resist and overcome the desire to partake of sin;
Turn sinful entertainment off or change the channel to something with a more appropriate message.
Heb 5:14
But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, [even] those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
If you are weak, unlearned or simply do not love Christ enough to realize when you partake of sin you are attempting to make Christ a partaker of your sins with you, then your problem is bigger then TV and PC’s.
Christ didn't say if you desire to look upon sin to go kill it, the source of sin or run it out of town did he?
Christ didn't say if you can't resist touching sin to go hide in the mountains, but Christ's message is much more personal to the Temple of which we are.
Christ said if your eye offends thee to pluck it out! If thy hand offends thee cut it off! The Spirit of Christ will still be happy to dwell therein.
Perhaps sin is very much alive still inside those who cannot resist the desire to sin or to be a partakers with those who commit sins? Perhaps the sin question has not been addressed properly and that’s why some are weak and are overcome by dumb TV’s, PC’s and fall into immoral behaviors?
The TV is a dumb piece of technology without a soul and it will not suffer eternal judgment because it has no conscience or control of itself for good or evil.
If we have not power over what we watch on TV it is simply because Satan has overcome us and we are out of relationship with Christ, and we are not a consecrated Temple or sanctified dwelling place for Christ.
Who will stand accountable in judgment because they stand back and quietly withhold their sword and their gift from the battle of the airwaves, while Anti-Christ and his Ministers continue to take advantage, and destroy the souls of good hearted people who are continually being offered a delusion and the lie of Anti- Christ through a false Gospel?
Eph 2:2
Wherein in time past ye walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that now worketh in the children of disobedience:
And such were some of us! Praise God!
A minister devoted to the Truth of Christ should strive to leave no rock unturned, and should never yield grounds, tools or devises to the enemy, for the enemy seeks but to steal, kill and destroy the message of Truth with the tools of this present age!
Those who stand idly by may find they have indirectly strengthened the hand of the enemy by withholding their sword from the battle, and the blood of the many souls lost to the Anti-Christ may be to the account of the slothful servants of God, who looked only to preserve their own humility, rather then to be tried for Truth and walk in the fires of judgment as the 3 Hebrew boys did in order to cast down the Lawlessness of Anti-Christ and share the Truth of the Gospel of the Kingdom of God, that some might be saved from the delusion, the image of the lawless beast, in this present age!
ISA 6:8
Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here [am] I; send me.
1 John 5:18-21
We know that whosoever is born of God sinneth not; but he that is begotten of God keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth him not.
[And] we know that we are of God, and the whole world lieth in wickedness.
And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, [even] in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.
Little children, keep yourselves from idols. Amen.
