Be warned a SOAPBOX is coming: I have been thinking about this a lot lately. I made a decision 10 years ago to not watch rated R movies. I felt that it was a conviction from God in my heart. And since I have given that up I have noticed a higher sensitivity to crude language, violence, gore, you name it. I also am noticing how it is popping up all over TV now. Breaking Bad & Walking Dead for example, the most popular shows could be Rated-R, I have not seen them, but I see a lot of my fellow believers that LOVE them. Even leaders in the faith, and this makes me wonder. How as Christians, if we look at what the world looks at and LOVE it, How are we different from the world? 

Romans 12:2  Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

Because what we put in to our brains is what we think on. ALL DAY. I am guilty of this too, that is how I know it's true. I watch one episode of TV and that is what wanders into my idle brain. Because I am seeing it and giving it my full attention. And not the bible. If I read the bible as often as I watch TV would my mind wander there? Wouldn't that be better?

Phillipians 4:8 Finally, brothers and sisters, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things.

What we love and enjoy and give our attention to is what fills up our brains. And what is in our brains and our thoughts is what we become. Movies and TV are just one example, but I don't see in our American society Christians standing up and going against the grain of our society, I see them merging into it, accepting it, trying to look like the world in order to "reach the lost for Jesus" Well Jesus didn't go with the flow, He went against the grain, ticked a lot of people off and changed the world. So, fellow Christians, if we look like the world, How will we change it?

Psalms 101:3 I will set nothing wicked before my eyes

I found an article online that does a really good job of putting it into words The Rated R conviction better than I could.
