| Do God's Work and all Your Needs will be Met | | Fri May 23, 2014 12:22 am by Camille | God always provides for our needs according to His riches in glory through Christ Jesus.
Philippians 4:19
As long as we are doing the work of the Lord God will always meet our needs. As long as we are pointing others to God, He will always see that you have plenty.

| Are You Enjoying "Popular Pornography"? Are You Enjoying "Popular Pornography"?

If you can watch shows like Game of Thrones without feeling God's conviction, you may have seared your conscience. This 1-minute devotion explains. #BibleLoveNotes #Bible #Devotions #GameofThrones #Pornography
Our culture is always coming up with new forms of evil to draw people away from God and His values.
In the last decade, we've seen books, television shows, and movies glorify things that God condemns (e.g. Shades of Grey, Game of Thrones).
Graphic depictions of sex and excessive violence have become incredibly popular with our fallen world.
But I'm deeply concerned that these types of pornography (yes, pornography) also have a following among some professing Christians.
1. We'd be better off gouging out our eyes than participating in the lust these shows inspire (Psalm 101:3; Matthew 5:28-29)!
2. Things we read, hear, and watch affect our hearts and minds (Proverbs 4:23, Romans 12:2, 2 Corinthians 10:5, and Philippians 4:8; Does Media Violence Lead to the Real Thing?).
3. Some forms of entertainment are actually idolatry (1 Corinthians 6:17-18).
4. We should be ashamed to watch anything that emphasizes and glorifies evil (Ephesians 5:1-17).

I encourage you to do a short Bible study on this devotion. Today's Bite Size Study has additional insights and full-text Scriptures for your careful study.
Even if you haven't watched Game of Thrones or Shades of Grey, the principles in the following articles apply to other shows, movies, and books: I Don't Understand Christians Watching the Game of Thrones and 12 Questions to Ask Before you Watch the Game of Thrones.
