our world

I have been very saddened lately with what is being fed to our kids by the media. First I took my oldest son to see Rango. It looked like a cute western type cartoon movie. It was not what it appeared though. I was shocked at the amount of foul language and violence through out the movie as well as encouraging suicide. also it included scenes were christian beliefs were made fun of. It was not a kid friendly movie at all. It is so sad that things that are supposed to be aimed at a kid audience are now filled with trash and anti God messages. I then had another shocker ,although I should not have been surprised, when watching the kids choice awards with my children. The music included foul language, people were dressed in inappropriate clothing and it was hosted AGAIN by a person who has openly made fun of Christians. Some of the presenters were known drug users and openly gays. Is this the messages we want to send to our kids as the appropriate way to live? These beliefs and lifestyles are leaking into ever inch of our children's media. Are we as Christian parents going to just stand by and let this culture indoctrinate our children? I for one am not going to allow it in my home and children's lives any longer. I know they will not be happy with me when I wont let them go see the latest movie because I feel the content is inappropriate or watch the latest show but I am not here to be friends with my kids I am here to train them. It is their souls that are on the line.
