120. What is a hypocrite? And TV and Internet.

hypo = under, below
hypocrite = one who pretends to be pious, one who plays a part.



Mat 16:1 The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven.
Mat 16:2 He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, [It will be] fair weather: for the sky is red.
Mat 16:3 And in the morning, [It will be] foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O [ye] hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not [discern] the signs of the times?
How do we forecast the weather?
By using all the information at our disposal.

He said it was a pretence that you could forecast the weather , but not discern the times.
We have been discussing the times recently.
Discussing TV and computers.

Do we see any signs there?
Can we accurately forecast moral decay and decline?

(yes)

Are we using all the info at our disposal?
Are we ignoring the signs?

To ignore is to feign ignorance.
Lying.
Not following the leading of the Spirit.

I admire Mellas efforts in trying to alert young families to the dangers of the internet.
Its not that the internet is wrong, nor the computer, its what we do with it, no, mor like how it will burn us,like a heater if you stick your foot in it you may never walk the same again.

I am trying to do something worthwhile on it (here).

But I maintain, it is all about love.
What we love, we will do and follow.
What we love, will replace the things we do not love as much.

If we present something better, the old will fall away.
Its not just about children either.
