Let's get started with the Holy Bible , God's written Word !

The following words are from our Savior , Jesus the Christ: 

John 3 :16 " For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that everyone who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him. 18 Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe has already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. 19 And this is the verdict: The Light has come into the world, but men loved the darkness rather than the Light because their deeds were evil. 20 Everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come into the Light for fear that his deeds will be exposed. 21 But whoever practices the truth comes into the Light, so that it may be seen clearly that what he has done has been accomplished in God .'

Whether you are giving or receiving a gift , most people would much

prefer a welcome reception , versus any awkward rejection.

Here's a question for you . 

There's a priceless gift that you have to own yourself before you 

can give it away . Do you have possession of that gift ?   :)

JOHN 3  { Jesus is speaking :  }

16 " For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only {e} Son, that everyone 

who believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.  

17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save 

the world through Him.  

18 Whoever believes in Him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe has 

already been condemned, because he has not believed in the name of God’s one and 

only Son.

19 And this is the verdict: The Light has come into the world, but men loved the 

darkness rather than the Light because their deeds were evil.  

20 Everyone who does evil hates the Light, and does not come into the Light for 

fear that his deeds will be exposed.  

21 But whoever practices the truth comes into the Light, so that it may be seen 

clearly that what he has done has been accomplished in God.”  { f  }

JOHN 8 : 12  {  Jesus is speaking :  }

 
12 " Once again, Jesus spoke to the people and said, 

“I am the light of the world. 

Whoever follows Me will never walk in the darkness,  

but will have the light of life. "

~ Screen what comes across the screen ! ~ Proverbs 4 : 23

                              😊   Welcome to BIBLE PAGES .   😊

" Screen what comes across the screen . "

                                                                                                                                                                                                                             


 As you read the following definitions and thought provoking words ,
may God enable you to put good screening skills to work in your life ,
for every screen that you may encounter , and set the example for many
as you do so.   


                                                                                                                                                                                                                            


The definitions for SCREEN  { skrēn } are :

noun

noun: screen; plural noun: screens

1. 
   

   a fixed or movable upright partition used to divide a room, give shelter from drafts, heat, or light, or to provide concealment or privacy.
2. a flat panel or area on an electronic device such as a television, computer, or smartphone, on which images and data are displayed.

----------------------------------------------------------------
     In today's world , people of all ages - from tiny children to the elderly - have access
to various screens , be they on televisions , phones , computers or movie screens. With all
of these screens filling the nations , we need to consider what we are allowing those screens
to show us. We need to screen the content of what we choose to see , and what we allow
to continue to see that was brought to us without our consent. An example would be if
you chose a wholesome program to watch , but midway through the program a sponsor
or the network showed something that is quite contrary to the wholesomeness that you
chose to watch. You'll have to make a decision : " Do I continue to watch a nice program ,
knowing that poor quality commercials could appear ; or do I change what I see on the
screen ? " Making a choice to prefer wholesome content is screening what you see or hear.
If something is unexpectedly brought to your attention , you can do a deeper screening
and choose to "stay or go " based on that new information.  Remember to consider if others
will be affected by what you are seeing or hearing. You may need to put their needs and
wants ahead of your own , especially if there are age considerations. Choose wisely !!
….
Below is a screen shot of a reply that the Lord and I , Peridot Path , made on
charismanews.com.
May these words give you pause to consider the ramifications of what your are

watching and hearing , and if you may need to hone your screening with God's help.

Here is a link for parallel Bible versions for the verse : Matthew 5 : 16.

https://biblehub.com/matthew/5-16.htm

* * *

The above Scripture is from Matthew 5 : 16 , but here are the previous 

verses , for context.

Matthew 5 : 13 - 16  [ Jesus is speaking in these verses . ]

https://biblehub.com/bsb/matthew/5.htm

13   " You are the salt of the earth. But if the salt loses its savor, 

how can it be made salty again? 

It is no longer good for anything, except to be thrown out and trampled by men.

14   You are the light of the world. A city on a hill cannot be hidden. 

15   Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a basket. Instead, they set it 

on a lampstand, and it gives light to everyone in the house. 

16    In the same way, let your light shine before men, that they may 
see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven. "
