Raising Them Up: Parenting for Christians QUOTES

1 " It seems that popular culture and media expect teens to exist as sponges to be filled with the expensive content (no matter how useless) of whatever music or programming they wish to propagate. "

― Israel Wayne , Raising Them Up: Parenting for Christians

2 " Technology has an addictive nature. It is very easy to become hooked on it, almost like a narcotic. Entertainment is often used for the same reasons that most people use drugs or any addictive substance: to pursue pleasure and to relieve pain. "

― Israel Wayne , Raising Them Up: Parenting for Christians

3 " Many people entertain themselves because they want to feel good and enjoy themselves or because they have a deep emotional void that they are trying to fill. They want to abandon themselves in a “virtual reality” and forget about the harshness of the life they are trapped in. People who are entertained for these reasons are liable to escape not only from reality, but from reason as well. It is when we are in a passive consumerist mindset that we are most prone to ingesting harmful ideas and worldviews imbedded in the media we consume. "
