Psa. 1 ... Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

There are so many things on TV that I choose not to watch for I know they will trouble me needlessly.

Instead of doing what Paul told us to do and thinking on things that are a good report (Phil. 4:8), many of these TV things cause me to become angry or filled with strife against a person or event ...

And even some of the shows that do not seem to trouble me often have a crawler at bottom of the screen which tells "news" and these stories often trouble me and tell me things I wish I had not heard.

So I try to take care over TV watching just as I would take care concerning the people I would talk with on phone for they so often trouble me with their words.

It is an exceedingly evil time we live in ... I believe God has shows us how to endure and it has with doing the following:

Phil. 4:8 ... 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. 

Certainly we can watch TV ... but if we are troubled by the words or stories we should reconsider what we choose to watch.

The evil is really bad now and we know by Bible that the evil will get worse and worse ... II Tim. 3 ... But evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. 14But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; 15And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. 16All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17That the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.  

I don't see how we can focus on the evil and endure the evil.

One thing we have done lately is add Bible Chapters at end of each day's writing on blog.  Hopefully this will help us to do more Bible reading.  I know it helps me and I think it could help you also.  Filling more of our lives with God and less of our lives with the world should help in this evil time.  And we know it is exceedingly evil and the world rampantly approves various sins and even applauds people in their sins.  It just shows us how we draw closer to the return of Jesus for these sins today would not have been approved by the masses in 1940's.  We grow closer to the day of our redemption, to the return of Jesus.

II Peter 3:13 ... Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness. 

Some church groups think they can make this present earth righteousness.  Yet Paul says, 
evil men and seducers shall wax worse and worse, deceiving, and being deceived. II Tim. 3:13

Church groups who think they will make this world better do not know the scriptures and they fight windmills.  

It is the "new heavens and new earth" wherein dwelleth righteousness.  We look for that and the redemption of our souls which comes with the return of Jesus for HIS people.

On this present earth, we "endure" to the end and I believe a big part of that endurance for us is to focus on what Paul said to do in Phil. 4:8 ... 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.
