Just a reminder of this wonderful sermon, which is worth listening to over and over again, on this Sunday, the Lord’s Day. 🙂

The Lord’s sheep run when He calls!
 
Hi friend in Christ Shin…🙂
Maybe you should uploaded it to Youtube to be more accessible…
Well, I tend to avoid Youtube, it would be good if someone else did it, or the people in charge of the site. 🙂

I agree these sermons should be spread far and wide as possible!
 
why you tend to avoid it :confused:
Well, I have ad and video blockers up, so in rare cases I’ll watch a Catholic video I think is unlikely to have problems. I may change this practice in the future I am still seeing how well it works.

But in general I don’t watch TV period, because of the immodesty and impurity, especially regarding clothing and camera focus. And also because I do not want to hear our Lord’s name taken in vain, or vulgarity. I find that applying these two standards to all media as to whether to have anything to do with it clears away a great deal of the chaff, it’s a simple and easy rubric.

If you got to Youtube, they’ll often advertise videos one the sidebars that are no good. And in general, even so-called ‘Catholic’ movies will often have a special shot added in to please Hollywood’s love of impurity.

If something violates the standards of modesty, I don’t want to see it.

Sometimes there is no choice, but sometimes there is a choice and one chooses ‘no’. 😃

So while I think that even in areas like Youtube, it’d be good to spread stuff like this, it’s not something I’d love doing, despite because of ad/flash blockers it’s a safer surf for me than others unless what I’ve directly chosen to watch is a problem. I know in some cases the side-bar videos might be fixable for some organizations that make deals with Youtube, but I don’t know if that can be done individually.

Well anyway, a long digression.

‘But fornication, and all uncleanness, or covetousness, let it not so much as be named among you, as becometh saints:’

Ephesians 5:3
 
:eek: You know Shin, it’s VERY HARD to find such a person like you now a days, from time to time, you keep stunning me with your posts…

:gopray2: May the Most High protects you and keep you well because you are an EXCELLENT example for a Christian person, you are the one that SHOULD be in the religious dialogues between nations.

:blessyou:
 
I know people like this! If not for them… where would I be?

Well, it’s not like I truly have any choice in doing this, though in time what was bitter to give up becomes disgusting to behold, and what was hard to do in replacement becomes sweet.

So it is a joy. And I thank God for making us give things up.

I’m doing this to gain salvation.

I used to be a very bad example in regards to TV, it’s hard to think a person could’ve watched more of it than I did. I don’t talk about it anymore. Now, I see so much wasted time… it’s horrible. I know there’s more I have to fix in regards to wasting time too, so pray for me please and I will pray for you. I am still adjusting.

Those two rubrics have become priceless for me. 🙂

When people who give up TV and love modesty come together it helps support these things getting done, and I’m really blessed for their prayers and good example. Martin has been a great example for me for example. And Patricia… The people at Plain Catholics who go farther…
