Chapters 6 and 7 were about your goals in life and making God more precious than life at the top of your list. One of the questions was if people would be able to notice whether we acted differently because we have God in our hearts or if we act the exact same as non-believers. This is a hard question to answer because many people think they are Christians when they don't act like it at all and know nothing about Jesus. Some people may be Christians and just don't do the most "Christian" things. Chapter 6 also talked about forgiving others. I find myself holding grudges sometimes on stupid things when it would be so much easier just to forgive them. God forgave me for so much more than I can even imagine. Chapter 7 talks about how much Jesus preached on money a lot more than we do now. The story of the widow is one of my favorite stories. How she gave only two tiny coins, but it was all she had.
Television, it is a life-waster in my opinion because we just watch it and time flies on by. We get caught up in our shows and could care less about the world around us. Tv and internet distract me from the things I actually need to do. It sends me messages that are wrong and cause me to waste my life.
My tv/internet and Bible/God ratio is completely backwards. I don't know why I do this. Well, I do. I fall into the temptation of the media world because it makes me happy for a temporary moment.
