TV
addiction
Pastor Tao Mou
You
know something? I used to crave for TV. Sometimes I just got to have some
of it. I was like some of my friends.
And
one of them said “I can't live without it. I just can't stand it.” And
he is a pastor too, a black pastor in a black church. Well, same human
struggle. Maybe you don't have TV addiction like us. How about internet?
Can you live without it for a few days?
Well,
knowing that I had this problem, I started to pray about it. Not just
once, but I continued to pray. I prayed that God will help me and make
a change in this area. And again He did. I found out that I didn't view
it as a source of my relaxation or my satisfaction any more. I realized
that it is not. And it didn't actually deliver that to me. What I truly
needed is to spend more time with God, and with my peace. I don't really
need that stuff to live. So I changed. There is actually more time and
energy for me when I changed.
