The “MEDIA”! Good or BAD?
The people of the world want truth delivered to them through the “media”
that they watch, listen to, and read. This can be majorly grouped as GOOD or
BAD. Indeed, the “media”, in many cases, has used fear tactics to control
people and cause them to live in constant alertness. Indeed, the “media” has
strayed from its original purpose which consisted of presenting the “news” on a
truthful and Christian manner.
The positives of the “media” include the following: important “news” can
be made known to the vast majority of people and can influence the world’s opinion
rather easily if one does not filter what he sees, hears, and reads.
However, a few negative attributes have been ascribed to the “media” in
the last century or so. Not to group all the “media” in the same ship, but many
“reporters” use fear tactics such as “exaggeration of the truth” and
“double-sided speech” (lying) to scare their realm of influence in too
believing their opinion rather than the truth which they choose not to search
out. Many a person has become a brainwashed creature that blindly follows the monstrous
leader of the common “media.” The “media” is appalling by the type of fear and
control that it possesses and instills in its listeners, readers, and viewers.
People can retaliate against the affects the “media” have on them. One
can pray that God heals the brainwashed and deceived areas of our mind that the
“media” has instilled in us. Another way is to replace some if the time that
one spends on the “media” and replacing it with Bible reading and prayer. Also
pray that God will change the hearts of the “media” drones and
broadcasters. Surely God can intervene for His people, if it is His will, and
cause the truth to be known.
In conclusion, the “media,” for the most part, has fallen from its
original purpose and we must combat it for it is mostly corrupt and BAD. Make
the truth known to those you converse with and most importantly spread Christ.
Since He is the TRUTH He should be the focus of Christian “media” workers.
Therefore if the people of God ban together and spread the Gospel we are doing
the best that we can to change the “media” by planting God.
