OK, so there's this guy...

Micah Ellis' Blog

This is a shameless appeal to get people to visit the new blog of my good friend Micah Ellis. OK, ok...not much is there yet, but I'm sure time and his overactive fingertips will cause his thoughts to "be fruitful and multiply."

Television

Any comments on this?

John Piper's assault on television
Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
November 1994

Turn off the television. It is not necessary for relevance. And it is a deadly place to rest the mind. Its pervasive banality, sexual innuendo, and God-ignoring values have no ennobling effects on the preacher's soul. It kills the spirit. It drives God away. It quenches prayer. It blanks out the Bible. It cheapens the soul. It destroys spiritual power. It defiles almost everything. I have taught and preached for twenty years now and never owned a television. It is unnecessary for most of you, and it is spiritually deadly for all of you.
