You know what doesn’t help when we’re<br />

trying to live a life following after God<br />

and keeping our thoughts pure? Unwholesome<br />

books, movies, and music. This<br />

topic is often stressed in Christian<br />

devotionals, books, and other literature,<br />

so much so it can seem overrated or<br />

redundant.<br />

Despite that, here I am telling you now,<br />

from personal experience, those more<br />

romantic-y books, movies, and love<br />

songs will. not. help. you. In fact, if you<br />

don’t guard your mind and heart, it can<br />

cause other, wrong and sensual thoughts to<br />

be entering your head, distracting you<br />

from God, from your family, from your<br />

friends, and from what is most<br />

important.<br />

I’m not saying it’s wrong to listen to<br />

some secular songs or secular movies,<br />

but be guarded and filter what you do watch.<br />

Look up Christian reviews online. It<br />

could save you from a lifetime of regret.<br />

When we struggle with our mind and what to fill it with, the best<br />

thing to do is to pray about it. Then search for beneficial books,<br />

music, and even movies that will fill your mind and focus your<br />

heart on what’s most important.<br />

You have all this time as a single! Use it wisely. Grow those<br />

relationships that need strengthening, and even if you have<br />

relationships that are already strong, make them stronger! God<br />

gives us these years for a reason, right?
