I was reading through a Christian magazine and came across an article concerning how we think, and what we perceive is right by what we surround ourselves with. It made me feel guilty, but it's so true. Truth hurts I guess.

Thought I'd share a small excerpt:
The popular expression "You are what you eat" is an encouragement to give our physical bodies good food. The idea also applies to our mental wellbeing. The mind's appetite is much like a stomach's, which becomes accustomed to the diet we provide and craves more of the same. Dwelling on whatever is pure, lovely, and right develops a hunger to receive more of God's goodness. But if we take in the garbage our culture calls excellent, we develop a taste for that instead. [...]
Everything our mind ingests shapes our views and values. Allowing incorrect teaching and sinful ideas into our thinking can eat away at our understanding of right or wrong.
If an idea, action, or activity is not true or honorable- that is, if it violates Scripture in some way- then God is not in it. And is God is absent, then Satan is present. The Enemy's mission is to draw our focus away from the Lord. Once Satan has someone's attention, he'll keep presenting more tasty-looking "junk food" to keep that individual occupied while leading him further into depravity.* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Philippians 4:8-9
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.
9 Those things, which ye have both learned, and received, and heard, and seen in me,
do: and the God of peace shall be with you.
