"See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise, redeeming the time, because the
days are evil." (Eph. 5:15-16)
It's difficult to comprehend the waste from watching television. By the age of 20, the average
American will have been exposed to at least 20,000 hours of television. Calculate for a moment
what could be done with even a part of those hours. 5,000 hours are what a typical college
undergraduate spends working on a bachelor's degree. In 10,000 hours, you could have learned
enough to become a doctor, lawyer, or an engineer. In that time, you could have learned to speak
several languages fluently. You could have learned to read the Bible in both the original Greek
and Hebrew. You would have had enough time to walk completely around the world and written
two books about it.
We will give an account to our Creator as to how we have used our time. Let us use it wisely.
