Biblical Answer

The biblical perspective on the media and entertainment in our lives is multifaceted. Firstly, it emphasizes the importance of being mindful of the influences of the media on our lives. The Bible teaches that we are to be good stewards of our time and resources, and that includes being intentional about what we consume in terms of media. This means being aware of the values and messages that are being conveyed through the media, and making choices that align with our Christian values.

The Bible also warns against the dangers of media that can lead us astray. For example, the book of 1 John 2:15-17 warns against the world, which is characterized by its love of darkness, sin, and rebellion against God. The Bible teaches that we are to be in the world but not of the world, and that we are to be mindful of the influences of the world on our lives. This includes being aware of the potential for media to lead us away from God and into sin.

Ultimately, the biblical perspective on media and entertainment is one of stewardship and responsibility. As Christians, we are called to be good stewards of our time, resources, and bodies, and this includes being mindful of the media we consume. We are called to use our gifts and talents to create media that honors God and brings glory to Him, rather than media that profanes or offends. This means being intentional about the media we consume, and using our influence to create media that promotes values of love, kindness, and compassion. As the Bible teaches in 1 Corinthians 10:31, "So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God." (NIV) This means that everything we do, including our consumption of media, should be done with the intention of bringing glory to God.
