Garbage in, Garbage out...

I have discussed in previous posts the fact that the battleground of the spiritual war we are engaged in is the human mind. How does what we put in our mind affect us spiritually? Does it matter what we watch or listen to or read? Does the cyber-axiom "garbage in, garbage out" hold true in life as well as computing?

The Apostle Paul tells us: "And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God." (Romans 12:2). Apparently, he thought that it matters what we allow to influence us.

Today, Chuck Colson, erstwhile Nixon aide/apologist, and founder of Prison Fellowship ministries, wrote in his Breakpoint column about this subject. I recommend you read his article Film and Suicide. Then decide whether you want to put "garbage in."
