My Bible Story

Paul taught us to think about things that are pure, lovely, and good. John warned believers not to love the world or sinful pleasures. Today, we must make wise choices about what we watch, listen to, and play. Media influences our thoughts, and thoughts shape our lives.

What This Teaches Us

  • Entertainment shapes our hearts and minds.
  • We must avoid media that is sinful or harmful.
  • Choose things that honor Jesus.
  • Good media helps us grow spiritually.

Memory Verse

“Whatever is pure… think about such things.” — Philippians 4:8

Activities

  • Good or Bad Media Sort: Decide which media honors God.
  • Screen-Time Plan: Create healthy limits for the week.
  • Pure Thoughts Poster: Draw good and godly entertainment choices.

Prayer

Lord, help me choose media that honors You. Keep my heart pure and my mind clean. Amen.
