Question:
Why do we consider TV as relaxation, when the Bible says that the things of the Lord are relaxation?
Answer:
Everything the Lord gives is “to enjoy” (1 Timothy 6:17), but much on TV is not from the Lord. Exercise of our bodies “profiteth,” though only for a short time (1 Timothy 4:8). The Lord wants us seek to please Him in everything we do. “And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father by Him” (Colossians 3:17). If I can’t do something to His glory, I shouldn’t do it. The question is not “What’s wrong with this?” But “What’s good in this?” “Will this please the Lord?”
