The Influence of Television 
Never Let Go Of Hope
<>_<>
Theaverage child watches 30 hours of television a week. That means that in a span of 18 years, a child will watch 18,000 hours of television and spend 12,000 hours in school.
A study that was conducted at San Francisco State University showed that, beyond a shadow of a doubt, watching television highly alters the brain-wave state, even when people watch as little as 20 minutes. The study explains that an alpha state occurs when you don’t orient yourself, when you just sit back and watch the pictures roll in your head. You are totally passive, “spaced out.�
This means that while we are watching, we are not reacting, and all of that information goes right into our memory pool. When we are watching television, we are training ourselves not to react and not to interact. So later on in life, the things we do and say come straight out of the memory pool where all that information has been stored.
We better take a hard look at what has been poured into our brain memory pool. If what we are tuned in to is what we turn in to, then we have serious problems. No wonder we have generations of children who are disrespectful to authority and their parents. They are modeling their lives based on what they watch on television.
Do not just condemn the media and television. Christians ought to invade the media. It is better to light a candle than to attack the dark.
More than ever, we need discipline and some soul-searching in the family. Do our children watch television because it is always on? Do they watch it because we are too busy to engage with them? Do they watch it because we have become undisciplined ourselves?
Father, I pray that You would help me spend less time watching TV and more time interacting with my family. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.
Father, I pray that You would help me spend less time watching TV and more time interacting with my family. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.
So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal
