 What not to watch in Movies




The next part in our series is getting a little more specific in regard to what not to watch in our movies. These are things that I believe the Christian should not watch


1. Immorality

About the easiest one to prove. We ought not watch things with vile, immoral, topics or scenes.

Psalm 101:3  “I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me

Phillipians 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.

Never be prey to the snare of watching the filth of immoral movies.

2. Profanity

Quite a tricky topic to discuss but I  still believe we should protect our ears from vile words.

Profanity is an ultimate denial of Jesus. Consider when Peter tried his hardest to show he wasn't a Christian and the one thing that worked was profanity.

Matthew 26:71

Then began he to curse and to swear, saying, I know not the man. And immediately the cock crew.

His profanity was a denial of Jesus. God takes profanity very seriously. 

Years ago, when Morality was much higher, profanity was bad. Only the dirtiest most corrupt men would use profanity. Back then it was shameful and despised in society. In fact the first time the f-word was used in 1978. The movie was rejected and failed because of the atrocity of the word.

Now today, where morality has ceased, profanity is more culturally accepted. But  does that make it ok. For one hearing profanity increases your chance of cussing.

A test was done in 2017 that in homes with no foul language, only 14 percent  of those kids grew up to be swearers. And in homes where foul language was used sparingly, 81 percent of kids grew up to be swearers. Lastly, in homes with an abundance of profanity, 93 percent of kids grew up to be swearers.

The startling fact is that the gap between infrequent profanity and excessive profanity was very small. Hearing foul language influences you way more than you think.

I believe that we should avoid movies with profanity and guard our ears from it.

Phillippians 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.

3. Witchcraft/ Sorcery

Ephesians 6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.

As Christians, we are battle with the darkness of the world and the devil. It is our enemy.

Sorcery, witchcraft, and dark demonic themes should never be given entrance in what we watch. These dark things are a result of the wickedness of Satan and the Bible gives a strict warning against it.

Ephesians 5:11

And have no fellowship with the unfruitful works of darkness, but rather reprove them.

Romans 13:12

The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.

I could give you verse after verse of God commanding us not to be apart of the demonic things that Satan uses to bind people.

Now you may think that " I'm not apart of the demonic stuff, I only watch it"

But the word fellowship means a friendly association in Ephesians 5:11.

A Child of God has no business being entertained by the evil forces of Satan.

Ephesians 4:27

Neither give place to the devil.

This is My family This is my Mom and Dad. I love spending time with them. My Dad is the one that led  me to the Lord. I appreciate all that they are to me. They are fun to be around and show a great example of a good marriage. This is my older brother Josh and his wife Tabitha. He is an awesome older brother and they are actually my youth leaders. They are the best youth group leaders I could ask for.  They are personable but fun and always challenge us to grow in our walk with the Lord. And they live next door too! This is my oldest sister Beth. She is actually an author. She has written some pretty good books too, if you like the romance and mystery type of book. She is sweet and and is always helping others. And she is single too in case anyone is interested. She is 27 and is a very good cook. But you will have to talk to my dad first. This is my older sister Brenna and her husband AJ. Her and AJ run the bus route for our church and do a great job at it. They have 2 sons, A...

It has been a really good week for me. For July 4th, our church had an activity with ice cream and some really good fireworks. I'm so thankful for our nation!!! Me and my mom were able to sell the last of our spring goats on Sunday! The Goat in the pic is Aurora. She is really pretty but I'm glad she is going to a new home. I have also been doing a bunch of work with my rabbit pens and scheduling out breeding which will start the end of August! My sister Callie recently started an Etsy shop selling unique earrings.  The ducks below are glow in the dark. We had our Good News at the Park today. it went really well and 58 from our church volunteered. I was also to help lead 2 teen guys to the lord as well with a friend. It is always a blessing to hear someone pray and accept Jesus into their heart! The cookies above was from a lady that gave them to me and I'm so glad because these Publix sprinkle cookies are my favorites. Lastly I was able to receive a certificate from the Bi...

What I have Learned from the Rabbit Business.

If you don't know already, I love breeding and selling rabbits. It has been super fun and in today's post, I will be talking about some of the things I have learned from the rabbit business! 1. Pick the breed If you plan on breeding, raising, and selling rabbits, you first start off by picking which breed you want. Do loads of research to find the breed that best's fit your area, cage space and colors. I chose Holland lops. They are relatively smaller and are the most docile rabbit breed out there. There is a good market in North Florida and they work for my set-up. 2. Buy Supplies Next go to your local Rural King and buy all the rabbit supplies. You want to find a bag of grain, timothy hay and a pet water bottle. Also think about buying food dishes, brush, and treats. You can find cages on Facebook Marketplace or just buy a wire cage at the store. I have connected wire cages that are hanged from the roof using heavy-duty wire. You also want to figure out whether you are ke...
