17 For the sinful nature desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the Spirit what is contrary to the sinful nature. They are in conflict with each other, so that you do not do what you want.
Galatians 5:17, 19-21 (NIV)
![Page 20: Adventist Youth Service Oct 2, 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062307/558398c8d8b42a08148b49fb/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
19The acts of the sinful nature are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity and debauchery; 20 idolatry and witchcraft, hatred, discord, jealousy, fits of rage, selfish ambition, dissensions, factions 21and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.
![Page 21: Adventist Youth Service Oct 2, 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062307/558398c8d8b42a08148b49fb/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
The mind is the measure of the person. Food for the mind is therefore of the utmost importance in developing character and in carrying out our life’s purposes.
For this reason our mental habits should be carefully
checked.

RADIO & TELEVISION
Radio and television have changed the whole atmosphere of our modern world and have brought us within easy contact with the life, thought, and activities of the entire globe.
![Page 23: Adventist Youth Service Oct 2, 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062307/558398c8d8b42a08148b49fb/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Radio and television are great educational agencies. By these means we can greatly enlarge our knowledge of world events and enjoy important discussions and the best in music.
![Page 24: Adventist Youth Service Oct 2, 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062307/558398c8d8b42a08148b49fb/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Unfortunately, however, radio and television also bring to their audiences almost continuous theatrical performances and many influences that are
neither wholesome nor uplifting.
![Page 25: Adventist Youth Service Oct 2, 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062307/558398c8d8b42a08148b49fb/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
If we are not discriminating and decisive, radio and television will turn our homes into theatres and shows of a cheap and sordid kind.
![Page 26: Adventist Youth Service Oct 2, 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062307/558398c8d8b42a08148b49fb/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
MUSIC
“Music was made to serve a holy purpose, to lift the thoughts to that which is pure, noble, and elevating, and to awaken in the soul devotion and gratitude to God.”
— Patriarchs and Prophets, p. 594.
![Page 27: Adventist Youth Service Oct 2, 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062307/558398c8d8b42a08148b49fb/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Music is one of the highest arts. Good music not only gives pleasure but elevates the mind and cultivates the finest qualities. Spiritual songs have often been used by God to touch the hearts of sinners and lead to repentance. Debased music, on the contrary, destroys the rhythm of the soul and breaks down morality.
![Page 28: Adventist Youth Service Oct 2, 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062307/558398c8d8b42a08148b49fb/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Great care should be exercised in the choice of music. Any melody partaking of the nature of jazz, rock, or related hybrid forms, or any language expressing foolish or trivial sentiments, will be shunned. Let us use only good music in the home, in the social gathering, in the school, and in the church.

ACTIONS
VS.
INNOCENT ENTERTAINMENT

6 Like the body, the inner being also needs wholesome nourishment for renewal and strengthening
— 2 Corinthians 4:6
RECREATION & ENTERTAINMENT
![Page 31: Adventist Youth Service Oct 2, 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062307/558398c8d8b42a08148b49fb/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
RECREATION & ENTERTAINMENT
Recreation refreshes the powers of body and mind. A vigorous, wholesome mind will not require worldly amusement, but will find a renewal of strength in good recreation.
![Page 32: Adventist Youth Service Oct 2, 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062307/558398c8d8b42a08148b49fb/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
“Many of the amusements popular in the world today, even with those who claim to be Christians, tend to the same end as did those of the heathen. There are indeed few among them that Satan does not turn to account in destroying souls.
![Page 33: Adventist Youth Service Oct 2, 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062307/558398c8d8b42a08148b49fb/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Satan employs to break down the barriers of principle and open the door to sensual indulgence. In every gathering for pleasure where pride is fostered ,where one is led to forget God and lose sight of eternal interests, there Satan is binding his chains about the soul.”
— Patriarchs and Prophets, pp. 459, 460.
![Page 34: Adventist Youth Service Oct 2, 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062307/558398c8d8b42a08148b49fb/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Dramatized films that graphically present by portrayal and by suggestion the sins and crimes of humanity — murder, adultery, robbery, and kindred evils — are in no small degree responsible for the present breakdown of morality.
![Page 35: Adventist Youth Service Oct 2, 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062307/558398c8d8b42a08148b49fb/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Safety for ourselves and our children is found in a determination, by God’s help, to follow the admonition of the apostle Paul in Philippians 4:8
![Page 36: Adventist Youth Service Oct 2, 2010](https://reader036.vdocuments.mx/reader036/viewer/2022062307/558398c8d8b42a08148b49fb/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
8“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things”
— Philippians 4:8

Takeaways?I am by NO MEANS advocating that it’s wrong to watch TV and these shows.... What I’m trying to convey is that we have to be careful of our choices of entertainment and understand and be aware of the negative messages that can potentially influence us.
