Entertainment

"The lamp of the body is the eye. Therefore, when your eye is good, your whole body also is full of light. But when your eye is bad, your body also is full of darkness" (Luke 11:34).

What we let into our lives through our senses—sight, smell, taste, touch and hearing—continually shapes and reshapes us. Choosing godly entertainment is key to becoming godly people. How is your entertainment affecting you?
