Word of Life Bible Institute Yearbook 2020

“The greatest lesson God has been teaching me has been to seek satisfaction from Him alone. This really became an issue when I started to evaluate the content of what I had been consuming as entertainment. For many years, I had been using my Christian liberties as an excuse to watch and listen to explicit TV shows, movies, and songs. However, when you consider what James wrote in James 4:4, you’ll find that friendship with (or seeking satisfaction from) the world is sinfulness. Christian liberty is no excuse for sin! Why would we want to be filling our minds with the very things that God hates? Conversely, Psalm 37:4 commands us to “[Delight] yourself in the Lord.” Biblical Christians must find their supreme joy in God alone. Coming to this understanding has helped me to improve my choices and turn to Bible-centered media as my primary form of entertainment. I trust throughout the remainder of the year and the rest of my life, God will continue to reveal my sinful ways in order to form me into the image of our spiritual example and Savior Jesus Christ. Psalm 73:26”
