I was having a conversation with one of my students about video games and certain kinds of music. I explained to him that the human brain is a fearfully and wonderfully made machine that computes faster than any computer known to man. Yet, God did not give us a Recycling Bin in which to place un-needed files. Everything we have ever seen or heard just gets filed away until recalled at a later time.

Interestingly enough, I asked him if he knew anyone with Alzheimer's. I remember when my Great-Grandmother began to exhibit signs and could remember events that occured when she was 5-6 years old. Now, she was in her 90s when she passed away.

And then it hit me how true God's word is and why there are little nuggets such as this included. You see, Alzheimer's shows us that positive memories can be recalled even though the present may be lost. BUT, look at how society will blame video games as contributing to violence- a negative recall of the past.

Do I believe that Columbine can be attributed to playing DOOM? No. Do I feel that it could be considered a contributing factor? Absolutely! The images in that game once placed before your eyes cannot be erased. There's no Recycling Bin for the Greatest Computer ever made. And when someone who already has issues is at a weak moment- Our adversary the devil, who is walking about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour, has just found supper!

Ever thought about how those sinful flashbacks from your past pop into your head at just the right time, like when you are doing something spiritual? The devil was really good at reminding me of how sinful I have been in the past, but I refused to let him have the victory. You see, God has promised to "remember my sins no more."

Keep the junk out! If your kids can't watch it, you shouldn't either. If the kids can't hear it, you shouldn't either. Do you know how hard it is for the Devil to attack if you are doing this:
