The following are footnotes of key scriptures written by Donald Stamps and taken from the Full Life Study Bible.
We encourage you to keep this before you (near your TV, DVD player, etc.).

*KEY SCRIPTURE…

“I will set nothing wicked before my eyes; I hate the work of those who fall away; it shall not cling to me.” Psalm 101:3 NKJV

Stamps Footnotes: I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes.  Today the ungodly are consumed with using their eyes to view immorality, wickedness, brutality, violence, pornography, and all kinds of evil as a means to gratify their lust and desire for perverted pleasure.  Through television, movies, videos, books, and magazines, people can observe every kind of wickedness.  However, those committed to God and His righteousness will hate and shun evil and will guard their lives and families by setting nothing before their eyes that would displease or grieve the Holy Spirit.


*KEY SCRIPTURE…

“Although they know God's righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.” Romans 1:32 NIV

Stamps Footnotes: Paul’s last word on general human sinfulness is God’s condemnation of a condition even more condemning than the practice itself.  i.e. Supporting, approving, and encouraging evil by taking pleasure in the immoral action of another.  This disposition is the ultimate in depravity- vicarious enjoyment of lust and evil.  Sin becomes entertainment.  The word “have pleasure” means “are pleased with” “ delight in” or “give approval to” and point to the casual enjoyment of the sins of others that prevails in the human society. (Especially as seen on TV, and in movies, magazines, etc.)

Today we know what great harm is produced by the portrayal of immorality that dominates the entertainment media, yet many consent to it and derive pleasure from it.  Being entertained by watching other people sin and engage in ungodly actions, even while you yourself abstain, brings you under the same condemnation of God as those engaging in such evil practices.  Iniquity is intensified in any society where sin meets with no inhibition from the disapproval of others and where people enjoy watching it.

Hence those, and especially those who profess faith in Christ, who use the immoral actions of other for entertainment and enjoyment are directly contributing to public opinion favorable to immorality and therefore to the corruption and eternal damnation of an indefinite number of other people.  This sin is worthy of death and will be exposed and judged at the final day of judgment.
