Tauranga mental health blog

One crime show after another scheduled night after night on television. Barely, a movie to watch at the cinemas free from violence, foul language, or debauchery. Witchery, horror, voodoo, evil, darkness, darkness and more darkness.

I have not attempted to study the correlation between filling our minds with evil and state of mental health. As usual there will be 'experts' on both sides of the debate with their own take.

My hunch, based on common sense and scripture, is that it can't be good for someone's mental health to be constantly exposed to darkness and evil. What do you think? And do you think it would be fitting for a Christian to watch such stuff?

"Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.
