Entertainment

Proverbs 10:23

A fool finds pleasure in evil conduct, but a man of understanding delights in wisdom.

What kind of entertainment do I enjoy?

Would I prefer to watch a movie about how a gangster robs all those "shlups" and buys his way out of prison? Or would I rather watch something about how two friends deepen their friendship over the years? Or a Nature show demonstrating how God designed this world to operate by everything doing its part in relation to everything else, so that all are benefited?

What kind of humor do I laugh at?

Do I find humorous someone doing something that would hurt or harm himself or someone else? Or is it funny when someone successfully deceives someone else to trick him or cheat him? Even if we consider that the victim deserves it, will we be the judge to determine his sentence? 

Like a wise clock-maker, our Creator designed our world to run smoothly, with even the fires, floods and storms contributing to the health and well-being of this planet. And He has given us His Manufacturer's Instructions to show us how to live in this world, and how to relate to Him and one another to deepen our relationships. All for our benefit and He receives the glory, the credit.

Even so, come, Lord Jesus!
