"COME NOW, AND LET US REASON
TOGETHER, SAITH THE LORD."
God commanded: "Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing." Deut. 7:26.
The Psalmist David said, "I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes: I hate the work of them that turn aside; it shall not cleave to me." Psa. 101:3.
The Apostle Paul exhorted the church: "Whether therefore, ye eat or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God." I Cor. 10:31. God does not get any glory out of lust pictures, prize fights, dancers, wrestling bouts, liquor or tobacco advertisements, murders, crime promotion, etc.
America is experiencing the worst crime wave of teenage delinquency ever known in the history of the world, and crime is increasing four times as fast as the population. The principal cause can be laid at the door of the movies, television and rotten literature.
Television is helping to fill the jails, the hospitals, the insane asylums, the divorce courts, the clinics for venereal disease, the houses of ill-fame and even hell itself.
Television is robbing the attendance at the church services and is putting out the spiritual fires of many who once loved God. Wherever television goes, real spirituality disappears. No one (without exception) can look upon TV for long and be deeply spiritual or carry a burden for lost souls.
Some say that it is just the same as radio, (and this is no attempt to excuse the sin of the uncontrolled radio), but there is a difference. It is the difference between hearing the voice of a half-naked woman and having her prance around before you. It is the difference between hearing about an adulterous libertine who stole some man's wife and of having him come into your living room to seduce yours. It is the difference between hearing about beer and liquor, and of having them set up a bar in your home and drink before your children. Yes, there is a vast difference. Psychologists say that up to 90 per cent of our thought life is stimulated by what we see. Thus only 10 per cent of our thoughts are aroused by hearing, smelling, feeling and tasting. Television employs the quickest, surest route to the polluting of the mind and the damning of the soul. Some claim that they will control theirs, but none of them do it for very long. It soon controls the owner.
A leading magazine dated Feb. 1, 1965 stated that "93.5 per cent of the nation's families now own at least one TV set each, and the average set is kept running 5 1/2 hours a day. The power of television to penetrate the minds of people‹even those with relatively little education‹is seen as unique because its message reaches the mind through both the eye and the ear."
God said: "Son of man, I have made thee a watchman unto the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me." Ezek. 3:17. "Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet, and shew my people their transgression, and the house of Jacob their sins." Isa. 58:1.
WHAT A PRAYER MEETING!
Oh, could there be an altar call
Down in that place below‹
How with a mighty rush all hell
Would to that altar go!
No coaxing would be needed then,
No pleading needed there;
One chance, a thousandth of a chance,
Would call all hell to prayer.
