One of the seven major US cultural influences in society is arts, entertainment and sports. Much money, time, talk and resources revolve around them.
As with anything, we need to be careful to redeem the time. Like Paul warned in Ephesians [5:15-16] ...
Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.”
March 1st - Focus on Arts, Entertainment & Sports
Prayer Points/Scriptures:
Used for celebrating and honoring loved ones skills/gifts or solely for selfish pleasure? 1 John 5:21 keep away from anything that might take God’s place in your hearts.
Is what you are watching healthy or tempting you to sin? Psalm 101: 3 I will not set before my eyes anything that is worthless.
Would Jesus watch this with me? Colossians 3:17 - And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Is it causing me to be addicted? My time spent foolishly? Or am I using it to fellowship with other believers, share the Gospel with people or simply have some clean fun? Titus 2:12 - Training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age.
Personal Challenge: Identify how you participate in arts, entertainment and/or sports. Which ones are solely for pleasure, and which ones can you minister to people? Allow the Holy Spirit to shine light on your involvement with them; what to keep, what to discard. What to moderate.
