Entertainment (en-ter-tane-ment) n. a proformance or show disigned to amuse or divert
Alternative Definition: Movies Music Radio. Definitely not Dad singing in the shower.

"My parents don't understand they won't let me listen to(insert popular secular musician). They won't let me rent this movie i want to see or but that groups CD. Hey, don't my mom and dad trust me? Besides just because i watch something doesn't mean i will do it"
Sound Familiar i only wish i could have thought something like this when i was a teen i think some censorship in my life would have been benifical

Everybody knows this months top ten. Ok, so you don't listen to the words. But one study shows that kids that "don't listen to the words" not only could sing the top ten they could write the lyrics down...Of Course thats not you Right?

So heres a way to show mom and dad you can be trusted ...are you ready lean in listen closely ....offer to let them watch the movie first...while your driving offer to let them listen to that disc jockey that you want to listen to...if its not "all that bad" there should be no reason mom and dad shouldn't be able to preview it and after a while of you making "good choices" mom and dad will begin to trust you.

I live by the rule if i am not comfortable sitting in front of Jesus listening or watching that movie than DON'T WATCH IT
Thanks for reading if you have anything to add please feel free to post it on my topic page or on the YOuthOnFire group topic page..let me leave you with a word from our Lord's book
" Finally, brothers, Whatever is true whatever is noble whatever is right what ever is pure whatever is lovely whatever is admirable if anything is excellent or praiseworthy Think about such things Philippians 4:8

Yeah I don't want to totally avoid the secular either, that's important too. I like some non religious things but I know where I stand myself. Too much of some things can be bad though. Great topic you posted, and appeals well to it's audience.
