Banish That Couple from the Bedrooms

This couple has destroyed many a relationship. Because of their addictive nature, they are capable of ruining legitimate sex life, marriages, families, and indeed our health—perhaps, even our very own lives. Not only have they contributed to an alarming obesity-rate hike, they have indeed prevented us from doing a great many worthy activities, including normal day-to-day and health-giving activities. This is particularly true for the weak-willed or ill-disciplined, or even for individuals who are lacking in meaningful goals or purposes in life. In short, this couple has wrecked, and is still wrecking, innumerable lives throughout the world.

By couple here, I mean that innocent couple of boxes: the television and the computer.

TVs and computers have insidiously crept into the bedrooms of many a house.

Admittedly, these two boxes are great inventions of man. But, sadly, kids and even many adults nowadays invariably find themselves spending dozens of hours each week on them; we are breeding a generation of sedentary, indoor people.

These two electronic boxes come in all their variations, including notebooks, DVD/VCD players, gaming machines and so on. These days they come disguised as much smaller boxes in various shapes and thicknesses.

Nevertheless, the latter are still the same things. They are equally, if not more, ferocious than their bigger counterparts. All these, though dead, are lively and therefore can be regarded as "wolves in sheep's clothings."

So, be wary of those two boxes in your study and living rooms.

More than that, banish them where they ought not be--your bedrooms!! Let's be wise, my friend.

"Eat Your Heart Out!": World

The world tells you and me to eat our hearts out.

If we follow its advice, we are likely to literally lose our hearts, as experienced each year, by the faithful millions of followers who undoubtedly sacrifice theirs through unwise eating!

Man has indeed made his belly his God. And for this, he pays an extremely heavy price--destruction in the end! How true is the verse, Philippians 3:19, in the Bible.

Jesus Christ, in a sense, predicted that this would be so in the last days: "As in the days that were before the flood (during Noah's time) they were eating and drinking...so shall (they) also" during the end times (Matthew 24:37-39). He was obviously not talking about man's need to eat and drink in order to live, but of man's love of eating and drinking per se and the way he would do them. Yes, people would be binging like never before as at the time just prior to the flood when those who were so engrossed with their habitual pastimes did not hear--or they simply refused to listen to--Noah's words of warning; they perished, as a result, from that great flood. I believe we are living in the end times.

Heart transplants (most cases are like signing a death warrant or opting for a shortened lifespan), heart attacks, heart failures and other related killer episodes or conditions claim the hearts and lives of those who are unwary or unaware of the dire consequences of their actions.

Will you continue to listen to the world? Take heed now, if you have been doing that!
