I don't know why I feel compelled to mention this on here but anyways I felt like I needed to write about this somewhere. Is it just me or lately has tv been over saturated with sex and scandally clad women all over the place? I can not turn on the tv without seeing some product, tv show, or movie that features women in tight revealing clothing, sex jokes, or even worse showing nudity and sex scenes. In most of the scenarios the nude scene or "sexy" chick doesn't even tie into the story, plot, or purpose. Its just there to be there (maybe they think that what guys want to keep them interested I suppose). Its seems like lately I'm always having to change the channel and if I'm at someone else's house I always end up having to leave the room or just go home. And the bad thing about it is because this is so common now I think a lot of people have become indifferent to it even some of my Christian friends.

I think being a girl its a lot harder when your guy friends adopt this attitude because to me watching these things doesn't show much respect for their sisters in Christ. It makes me feel like they do not appreciate a godly woman who is living her life for Christ (check out the Proverbs 31 woman!) and obeying his commandments. Ultimately I know it only matters what God thinks of me. Only He knows my true heart and I am supposed look to Him for approval not man.

When I mention how we need to be careful of what we watch sometimes they get mad or say I'm overreacting but the Bible is clear about this in Ephesians 5:1-5:

 "Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God. But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people. Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. For of this you can be sure: No immoral, impure or greedy person—such a man is an idolater—has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God."

Its hard sometimes when to know when to stick up for your beliefs and what you know is right because I know it can be very annoying for others to hear you say something everytime someone does something you don't like. I do believe there are times you have to speak up and then there are times you have to keep quiet. I think most importantly God is teaching me not to judge others as much. Although I may hate these kinds of shows and movies I have my own personal sins I am struggling with too. They are no less sinful than what someone else does so I need to always remember that.

Anyways that is enough for today...
