Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things. Philippians 4:8 ESV
A long time friend of Emily's made some interesting observations in her post regarding children's television. While I agree with her general theme that we need to be mindful to what our children are exposed, it prompted several other questions in my mind:
1. When should children be exposed to 'the world'?
2. Is the (dare I say it) 'liberal' slant of PBS programming dangerous in a Christian home where the parents (or parent) are actively involved in their children's lives and teaching them who God is?
3. With the popularity of shows like Oprah, Friends, Sex and the City, etc., even among many Christians, why are we only worried about the kids?
I'm going to work backward, starting with question 3. But it will be later this week. Until then, what do you think?

I would say the scripture you quoted applies to everyone.
I still slip into the mode of "I just need to unwind." I'll watch and episode of "The Office". I never feel fulfilled after I see that. Why can't I read my bible to unwind? Or pray to unwind? PBS has a lot of liberal cartoons. More so than even Disney, in my opinion. Good post, Josh. I wasn't offended.
Thanks for the shout out, BTW.
