Remember the term from years gone by of "Gigo?" Garbage in, garbage out!" I haven't heard that for years. That's just another way of stating Galatians 6:7b: "(W)hatever a man soweth, that shall he also reap."
Let's stretch our imaginations a bit. Suppose we plant some tomato seeds. We pray over those seeds and even anoint them; then expect them to produce beautiful roses. No one believes us when we tell them what we expect those seeds to produce, because everyone knows it is impossible to grow roses from tomato seed!
Now let's turn to the spiritual realm. Do you know anyone who sits for endless hours on end in front of the TV and watches every "soap" that comes along? (I'm sure YOU don't!!!) And the trash that television produces is getting raunchier by the day! Some people watch the TV trash all week long and then are frustrated and puzzled when they go to church on Sunday and don't experience the presence of the Holy Spirit in their midst.
Don't turn me off, now. I'm not saying it's a sin to watch television. I watch it, too. What I'm concerned about is this. Do you spend more time in front of the TV than you do with the Lord? Where do you turn for your pleasure -- the TV or the Word of God? Which is more important to you -- the TV or God's Word? Television can be addictive, and can rob us of time we should be spending with the Lord and His Word, in both communication and meditation.
What are you putting into your heart, mind and spirit -- trash or the Word? Only you can answer that question.
Remember: Gigo -- garbage in, garbage out!
