First, A deep apology to all who have been continuing to visit this site during it's dormant stage. I am trying to organize my life a little more lately to spend more time in reading, reflection and prayer. Well, here is the opening paragraph and an attempt to keep what faithful readers I have, faithful.
Recently I found myself extremely upset and repulsed with the morals of many shows, the use of sexuality to sell almost every product, the lack of respect for God, the course and perverse language that has become socially acceptable and much, much more. In previous discussion in regards to this topic I leaned towards condemning television as a whole and not being involved with it at all. After reading Creation Regained by Al Wolters it has opened my eyes to see a better picture of our world in which we live and how to analyze certain and particular aspects of this world. It has shed a new light on the topic of entertainment the form of television. In this excellent book Wolters explains how to look at everything in the “corrective lenses” of the Reformation worldview. Through the scope of Creation, Fall and Redemption we can see exactly what God created as normative and good, how the fall into sin has corrupted and penetrated every aspect of creation, and then heavily sift through every part of life, finding the created good and embracing it. With this as a structure we can then begin chose our direction in which we travel. With the idea and assumption that Christ is permeated in every sphere of life, and that nothing on earth remains in a neutral category belonging to neither Christ or Satan, we must attempt redeem all normative goods for, and in the name of Christ.
