Christians, like others, watch television. Often is it difficult to find something decent to watch. So much programming is filled with profanity, immorality, violence and filth.

Now and then writing campaigns are encouraged to appeal to TV officials to clean up their programs. But let us not be naïve. Most of those in charge of TV productions do not care about morals. They are only concerned with fame and fortune. Like the liquor industry, they will sell their souls, and the souls of your children, if it will line their pockets a little bit more.

Most of these TV people are anti-God, anti-religion, immoral and corrupt in their personal lives and consider wickedness the norm that everyone should follow. So appealing to the TV industry to clean up TV is like asking a dog not to bark. Their nature, by habit, is to dip as low as the market will allow for their material.

One thing we can do to prevent their filth being poured into our homes and minds. WE CAN TURN TELEVISION OFF. While this is not the total answer to TV trash, surely Christians can find something better to do than drink the sinful slop of television’s worst.
