What You Love : The Entertainment We Consume - Colossians 3:1-4

We are to put to death the sin that lives inside of our hearts. Yet, we constantly give into the sins of the world when we allow our phones, or the entertainment industry, or the music we listen to, or the shows we watch, shape and form who we are and what's important. What we hear and listen to influences us. While it's not bad to engage with media and the world around us (as long as we do not give in to sin), we should not allow these things to control and consume our lives, our thoughts, and our minds. Jesus calls us to look to higher things in life. He died, rose again, and killed and raised you to life through your baptism, so that you and I could live a new life. We would not be consumed by the sin and the things of this world, but rather we would live new lives that prioritize not what we think is important or what the world says is important, but what Jesus calls us to look to and how to live. We refuse to allow media today to consume us when we remember our baptism, set our minds on the things of God, and look forward to Jesus' soon return.
