WHAT DO YOU DO WITH YOUR MESS?

[blazingthru]

Okay I been saved for a long time, but I have backslided into some of my old habits. I regave my life to Christ 100% and I am learning new things, I never knew before. It has changed my life. So, I have movies that to me I didn't see anything wrong with them at the time. But now I see them to be a terrible thing to have in my care, So my question is what do you do with your mess. none of this stuff will glorify God in no way. I want to get rid of it. Should I throw it in the trash, give it away. donate it. I feel I should throw it in the trash other say give it away and still others say donate. Since I know these things are sin. why should I contribute to someone else sin. hence my feelings on throwing it away. But the those who remain in sin without ever thinking about going the other way will always be there why not give it to them. I feel in my heart that its wrong for me to help. I would not buy cigs for anyone I loved or hated since I know the harm it would do. What do you think. I even called pastors to get advice. I haven't heard any replies as of yet.

I had a friend of mine who was REALLY into hip hop and
all sorts of music and over the years he collected a lot
of cds. So when he got saved he decided to throw them
all out.

I heard somewhere that you are either a part of the problem
or a part of the solution... not sure how that relates too much,
but I say go with that feeling you have of simply throwing them
away. No need to contribute to someone elses mess?

Throw it away. Its just stuff.

 

[Ramya]

I threw all of mine away.

Throw them away. If it's poison to you, it's poison to others.

You answered your own question in your original post...re-read it.

I just watched G Craige Lewis Truth Behind HipHop, I've been watching all morning. I think there are 3 of them. Listening to it all, and some things he showed and said about the artists really shocked and disturbed me. I just got done deleting about 500 songs from my computer and throwing away all my cds (about 30 in total). It's the only thing you can do. You can sell them or give them away but that just means someone else will be susceptible to Satan's work and that is not our goal.

Recycle! At least it'll be put to good use rather than contaminating somene else's life. You could throw away the non-recyclables.

I am throwing everything away. Thanks everyone for your responses

First of all, what a beautiful thread. I'm encouraged.

Second, we are here to let our Light so shine and to plant good seed into other's lives, not dead works.

Your answer has been in your heart all along. It's the bolded above. Afterall, what would Jesus do with the items?

Your name even says it all, Blazingthru...

Your blazing light destroys sin, not enduce nor passes it along to others.

His DVD's are a big part of what turned my entire sinful way of life around!

That stuff was powerful because I was into all of that mess. Slept with headphones on, woke up singing mess, sang it before I went to bed. I let secular music overtake me............!

Jesus came and washed that all away though!!!

I toss it.

Yes! I can't tolerate secular music anymore. I can't believe some of the mess I used to repeat passively. Praise God for exposing the truth!
