10 Ways You Can Allow God’s Truth to Set You Free

Turn off the television.

For some people, television is their constant companion, even if it is turned down low, humming quietly in the background of your day. The average American watches over five hours of television every day. So what’s wrong with that? Paul warns the first-century Christians in Colossae not to taken captive through the hollow and deceptive philosophies of this world (Colossians 2:8). It becomes much harder to avoid the deceptive philosophies of this world when we give it a platform to broadcast its philosophies directly into our homes for over five hours per day. Do you want to start saturating your mind with truth in a way that it can begin to set you free? Start by turning off the television for awhile. Very rarely does television project God’s truth, more often than not it projects the world’s truth, so be cautious about what you watch.
