In considering how to spend our time, the Bible encourages us to be mindful of the influences we allow into our lives. Psalms 101:3 cautions against setting our eyes on anything vile, while Philippians 4:8 reminds us to focus on what is true, noble, and pure. As we are shaped by what we see and hear, Romans 10:17 notes that faith comes from hearing the message of Christ, and Proverbs 22:6 encourages training children in the way they should go, implying a need for discerning guidance. By recognizing that all have fallen short of God's glory, as stated in Romans 3:23, we can approach our media choices with humility and a desire to honor God.
