    Choose Your Entertainment Wisely

    Why must we choose our entertainment wisely? Because when we select a movie to watch, a song to listen to, a website to visit, a book to read, or a video game to play, we are choosing what to fill our mind with. Our choices affect our behavior. Sadly, much of the entertainment available today contains elements of things that Jehovah condemns. (Ps 11:5; Ga 5:19-21) For this reason, the Bible urges us to continue considering things that honor Jehovah.​—Php 4:8.
