Wow, that was awesome! I have never even thought about having media as our friends. Its so true though. I have been reading through proverbs in my devotion and just recently came across that verse. I read with the mind thought of, walking with the wise as walking with wise peers and freinds. I would have never thought about walking with media and technology. Thanks for pointing out that major detail to me!
God Bless!

Wow, that's a really awesome post. But I'm going to have to ask a question about this...what now?

Assume for a second we, as teens, really get it. We are watching/listening to the right things, choosing our friends wisely etc. But what do we really need to do to affect the people around us?

The blanket statement most would make sounds something like this: "Just be a light to the world." Alright, cool, I need to be a light! Now, how do I do that?

Right on, Jake. Exactly.

This post was preliminary, foundational, etc... Now that we have the basics down (changing ourselves), we come to the answer to Lauren's original question. I had to cut my response down into smaller sized posts, otherwise no one would read it, and I wouldn't have time to fully develop each section. This is a series, and we'll be addressing the "what now?" question in detail in the near future.

Hey,
I was thinking another thing that our society has become very good "friends" with is food. Its starting to be very noticable. Like Proverbs said we need to walk with the wise...and as you added, with technology. We also need to be wise with what we eat. Its not bad to eat sweets every once in a while for a treat, but when thats all we eat...its not good.
My mom is an amazing cook and she has trained our family extremly well into not being picky and unhealthy eaters. That was just another aspect in a way we can be wise.
God Bless!
