Outline of a Basic Presentation 

Media Choices: Convictions or Compromise?

What is a conviction anyway?

What is compromise? 

What's the Goal?

The goal is a growing relationship with Jesus not legalistic rules. The Bible says to "run the race with endurance, fixing our eyes on Jesus."

What's the Problem?

The Bible says to "lay aside the weight and sin which so easily ensnares." Today's entertainment can be one of those snares.

Media Consumption

We live in an all-you-can-eat media buffet culture that continues to consume vast amounts of entertainment.

Media Literacy

Media literacy is understanding that all media has a message and those messages have an impact in our lives. 

Worldview

Having a Biblical worldview is critical to discerning right from wrong and for building convictions about media choices.

Heart Matters

We have been desensitized and need to be re-sensitized through a change of heart and the renewing of our minds.

The Counterfeit Life

Beware of the counterfeit life. Media often protrays deceptive messages about what it means to live life to the fullest.

The Battlefield

The battle is not against Hollywood. The Bible teaches us about spiritual warfare and we cannot afford to be ignorant of the weapons and tactics of the enemy.

Garbage in Equals Garbage Out

The Bible says that you will reap what you sow. Media has become a fuel that drives the engine of our culture.

Power in Unplugging

Taking a break from media allows our lives to clear from the pollution we've carelessly allowded to cloud our hearts.

Clean House

Many homes have carelessly allowed spiritual and moral toxins to poison their families through media. It's time to clean house.

Making a "You Turn" and other Action Steps

One of the main themes of Jesus' teaching ministry was repentance. It's time to make a u-turn. There are many other steps that we can take to help us grow in our relationship with Jesus as we learn to make wise media choices.
