Seeds of Hope

“On the first day of each month I carefully walk through every room in my home to make certain that there is nothing that would embarrass Jesus if He were to visit our family,” said my friend. “If there is anything anywhere that is not appropriate for His eyes, it certainly is wrong for me to gaze upon it. If there are magazines or books or newspapers that have vile or unclean photos or stories I throw them away immediately. And because of the influence of television - even the news or children’s stories or cartoons, we got rid of our television. And many would think we were wise. But when I talk to “them” about Jesus, many of them think I’m weird even without having that ‘stuff’ corrupt my mind and the minds of my children.”
