The Media Circus And Its Impact On Society

One of my earlier articles dwelt on the role of the family in trying to ensure that children were brought up with respect for others and for themselves and this was often achieved by adopting traditional family values which blended love, respect and discipline and relating to each other within the family unit. I will not spend any more time on that topic at the moment, so please read it for yourselves. The bottom line however is that bringing up a family is hard work and a lifelong commitment and that is without the modern drug which all of us are addicted to namely the strength and aggressive nature of the media circus which is beamed into our everyday existence through TV, Papers, Internet, phones and many other mediums.

There is immense pressure these days and this has been finely honed by the media whereby the importance of material ideals does in essence break the traditional values and the family becomes several separate entities within the family location. Mum is organizing the house often around her own employment which she has to do to maintain the materialistic standard of living, Dad is working in the evening to catch up on work that he failed to complete in his normal working day, Johnny is in his bedroom playing video games and Debbie is in her bedroom on the computer and chatting to her friends. This is the scenario for many modern middle class families. However, you then have the opposite extreme in society where money is not available to enjoy this media driven circus and often the only way for these people to live the media way is to take it from someone else. This is only one scenario, the committing of a crime to gain some kind of otherwise unattainable social ranking.

The modern visualisation techniques adopted in the majority of modern films and games can have a devastating affect on the minds of young and old alike. Violence in the extreme covering drug abuse, physical, mental and sexual themes can in many cases replace the reality of everyday life with an unreal world that mixes the above elements into a very dangerous cocktail. Censorship puts an age on the viewing criteria but all too often unsuitable content is easily available and open and innocent minds are brainwashed with totally unnecessary images.

The Media Circus And Its Impact On Society

Whilst modern day living is totally dependent on media in one form or another, the balance of what is necessary and what is not really needs to be addressed. Media can create contentment but can also simultaneously create discontentment. The vision of George Orwell and the concept of big brother is most certainly with us.We are all logged and tagged like animals on a farm and held on a vast datafile. The data logging is one element of modern society, the thrust of the media revolution is another and if not controlled it will have far wider reaching effects than we know at the moment and could have even greater impact for subsequent generations.

What Is The Jezebel Spirit? Ten Ways To Recognize The Spirit of Control and Defeat It

One of the strategies that the devil uses against us in spiritual warfare is the spirit of control also referred to as the jezebel spirit. The spirit of jezebel is a demonic spirit that ultimately seeks to control and rule over people, especially God's people and the prophetic ministry.

What Is The Jezebel Spirit

Jezebel was the wicked and sinful wife of King Ahab of Israel in the Bible Old Testament. Jezebel was a Phoenician priestess and the daughter of a Sidonian king named Ethbaal. The marriage of Jezebel and King Ahab caused Israel to become saturated with the worship of Baal, Tammuz, Asheroth and other false gods. Jezebel's desire was to seduce God's people and turn their hearts away from serving and worship Him. Jezebel was a priestess and was very religious. Her worship of Baal was an idolatrous religion which includes the worship of false gods and idols. Jezebel caused God's people to participate in child sacrifices, homosexual sex acts, orgies, perverted sex acts, pagan rituals and immoral priestly services to God. Jezebel controlled Israel including her husband King Ahab whom she also converted to worship Baal. Today we call this same spirit of control that Queen Jezebel used against the people of God as The Jezebel Spirit. The Jezebel spirit is known as witchcraft which is a work of the flesh and without the Holy Spirit, you will not have dominion over this spirit.

What Is The Jezebel Spirit? Ten Ways To Recognize The Spirit of Control and Defeat It

Works Of The Flesh

As Christian, we must understand that our real struggle is with our flesh. Our flesh is at constant war against our spirit and without The Holy Spirit in our lives, our flesh will rule and cause us to walk in the ways that are contrary to the word of God. When our lives are not submitted to Christ and we are not controlled by the Holy Spirit, we are being controlled by our flesh and the ways of the world. Being controlled by our flesh leaves us open and vulnerable to be controlled by the Jezebel spirit as well as other demonic forces that have the open doors. The book of Galatians describes the works of the flesh to us and how we can walk in the Spirit and not fulfill the lust of the flesh. The only way for us to defeat Jezebel and the spirit of control is for us to be controlled by the Holy Spirit.

Galatians 5: 16-21 (NLV)

16 I say this to you: Let the Holy Spirit lead you in each step. Then you will not please your sinful old selves.

17 The things our old selves want to do are against what the Holy Spirit wants. The Holy Spirit does not agree with what our sinful old selves want. These two are against each other. So you cannot do what you want to do.

18 If you let the Holy Spirit lead you, the Law no longer has power over you.

19 The things your sinful old self wants to do are: sex sins, sinful desires, wild living,

20 Worshiping false gods, witchcraft, hating, fighting, being jealous, being angry, arguing, dividing into little groups and thinking the other groups are wrong, false teaching,

21 Wanting something someone else has, killing other people, using strong drink, wild parties, and all things like these. I told you before and I am telling you again that those who do these things will have no place in the holy nation of God.

Ten Ways To Recognize The Character of Jezebel

(1) Uses other people to accomplish their goal: The Jezebel spirit is very clever and will uses other people to do their dirty work while they stay in the background pulling all the strings like a puppeteer until their agenda has been accomplished.

(2) Tells lies: The Jezebel spirit is very deceptive and charming and It will look you in the eyes and lie to you very convincingly. Her lies are so believable that she will have you second guessing what you know is true. She uses the seduction of her eyes to do this.

(3) Seeks revenge: The Jezebel spirit does not like to be wrong on any account and when confronted it will raise up like a snake and seek to attack you. As long as you agree with them on everything, you are safe from their wrath, but if you ever confront this spirit you will become their worst enemy.

(4) Extremely religious: This spirit loves to teach bible study and hold prayer meetings in their homes. They love to teach in their own homes so they are not held accountable to anyone for giving out false teachings. This spirit seeks out new babes in Christ who have no real solid foundation in the Word of God and will lead them astray by their clever and elaborate words and prayers. This is all done so the believer will become so fascinated by them that they will soon become followers of the Jezebel and not the Lord.

(5) Ignores people: The Jezebel spirit uses this tactic against someone when there has been a falling out or disagreement with this spirit. This is normally their way of punishing that a person for not agreeing with them.

(6) Takes credit for everything: The Jezebel spirit wants to be seen as having knowledge about everything. This spirit is quick to take the credit for things when it turns out wonderful and just as quick to not take responsibility when things go wrong. It always has to be right.

(7) Will not accept guilt or responsibility: According to a Jezebel spirit it is never wrong. This spirit will never repent or acknowledge that it was responsible for any wrongdoing.

(8) Volunteers for everything: The Jezebel spirit loves to control everything so it volunteers to be the leader over as much as they can. This way everything has to come through them in order for the project to take off and be successful in their eyes.

(9) Operates in confusion: Confusion will always keep the Jezebel spirit from being detected and exposed. The Jezebel spirit sends out confusion to the mind of people to maintain control and power as they continue to do their agenda.

(10) Clairvoyant: Many people who operate under this spirit of control or Jezebel spirit also have a clairvoyant spirit. A clairvoyant spirit is able to perceive or know things outside of human senses. Christians have the Holy Spirit to guide them into all truth, but the Jezebel spirit has the help of a familiar spirit feeding them supernatural knowledge and information.

The Inspiring, Uplifting and Entertaining Sermons of Joel Osteen - Religion Lite With a Flair

Every Sunday there are many religious programs to choose from on network TV, yet one stood out as I flipped through the channels. Stopping at Joel Osteen's program, I casually watched it, and got hooked by the end of the program. The positivity and uplifting messages given by this talented pastor of Lakewood Church is addicting.

Having basic Christian values but being limited in my knowledge of religion in general, I haven't spent much time in church as an adult. Being a workaholic, with limited time and energy, by the end of the week I am mentally and physically worn out. Watching Joel Osteen on television on Sunday morning is my way of getting spiritually recharged for the week ahead. If a sermon is going to catch my attention, it has spiritual meaning, yet isn't too overly preachy or heavy. For many, like me, who believe in God but aren't knowledgeable in quoting scripture or other Biblical information, sermons that teach us the basics while being upbeat are powerful and welcomed.

When you turn on the TV today, there is so much pain and sadness that it can wear on you after awhile. How glad I am to have a show to watch that isn't going to depress me. Having major depression, I am very careful of what I watch, and limit my exposure to overly stressful subjects out of necessity. Life has improved, the more understanding I have of my condition, but it has been a lot of hard work. I am an avid news watcher, and as everyone knows, it usually is full of death and crime. To counteract my exposure to less-than-happy subjects, I record Joel Osteen's sermons and watch them to give me a boost during the week. This man, whom I have never met, has helped me to maintain a better mood with his speeches on self-esteem, finding peace, decision-making, assertiveness, and more. Messages that bring hope, faith and self-improvement are needed by everyone. This is why Joel Osteen's following is huge. He has a converted basketball stadium for a church, which is always packed every Sunday. And, when he travels to different cities, his locations sell out frequently.

The Inspiring, Uplifting and Entertaining Sermons of Joel Osteen - Religion Lite With a Flair

Being a skeptic naturally, it is refreshing to me to find a weekly dose of peace in the form of a half-hour TV show. When you go to his site, you can see the entire sermon, for free. If you like your religion "lite" then try watching this talented pastor's show. Joel Osteen is a savvy, well-spoken preacher with a gift of getting to the point and making scripture understandable to those of us who aren't skilled in knowing it. It is clear to me that Mr.Osteen is making the world a better place, one uplifting sermon at a time.

TV: A Positive Impact on Society

Television, what do you think of when that word is mentioned? People all over the nation have different opinions about TV. Some people think of it as a positive thing, and some say it has negative influence on our lives. What ever you think about watching television, it is your opinion, and it is fine. What I want to bring to your attention is the positive impact of a wonderful invention, that we call television, has had on our society.

When you were a child did you watch television? Do you remember some of the TV shows you watched when you were a child? After watching a show of your favorite musical artist, did you try to sing that song or imitate the dance moves you just saw? If you did, or did not, I bet that there was something you tried to imitate from watching TV. Children have learned many things from television, like different shapes, colors, plants and animals. I am sure as a child of this nation we have learned many positive things from viewing TV when we were in our toddler years.

We know that children learned many things from watching television, but how does TV affect your life as an adult? When you go to bed at night, or get up in the morning to go to work, do you turn to the news channel to check what the weather is going to be like? When looking for information of current events, local news, or deals to be found at your favorite store, you can find all these things on TV. The good that television brings to our everyday life is absolutely incredible.

TV: A Positive Impact on Society

September 11, 2001 will always be remembered as part of our history; were you watching television on that day? Millions of people across the country were glued to their sets, receiving up-to-the-minute information of what was happening. TV is one of our most important ways to receive critical information locally, as well as nationally. We should be very thankful that most of us have televisions and can be warned not to eat a certain brand of spinach, because of an E. Coli break out, or to be on alert of a suspected serial killer. When someone receives that kind of information they will usually tell a family member or a friend; thus, bringing more awareness to a dangerous situation. When people are more alert to the dangerous aspect of our society, it also creates a safer community and that is very positive.

TV is a wonderful invention that can give you some well deserved, laughs at the end of a hard day, or can entertain you with some suspenseful story. Tailor what you and your kids watch on television to make it a source of information and entertainment. View with common sense, because we know kids learn by imitation and listening. Stay on top of what is important to you by picking and choosing what you want to watch. Finally, I think TV is a very positive addition to our lives; however, we all should be mindful of what we watch.

Newspapers Vs Internet News

Once, it was difficult to imagine morning without a newspaper. We wake up, drink a cup of coffee and read newspapers in order to find latest news in the country and around the world. Today the world has changed. Every hour there is news, every minute something happens. In order to get the latest news, just go to the internet. And if you prefer, you can even get updates (the results of football games, for example), directly to the mobile phone. And this, of course, without any mention of television news channels, which broadcast 24 hours a day. So who really needs the newspapers and there is still the future of this industry?

First of all, many people read newspapers from the habit. Indeed, why, to change anything? Why switch on a computer or TV, if tomorrow morning we will find a newspaper at the door. And if there has been something abnormal sooner, we will probably hear about it on TV. The feeling of reading the newspaper like reading books, and it is rooted in many people. You can read during meals, in bed before sleep, or even in the bathroom. You can certainly use the laptop in these places, but it is far less convenient.

Major newspapers around the world have already noticed this problem a long time. They understand that the news on the Internet is the future. It should also join this trend and this will help in particular to promote the newspaper. Who does not do so, will be left behind. Creating new and popular site with interesting material is not detrimental to the newspaper, but also expands the sources of funding. Many of those who advertise on the Internet are not always advertised in the newspapers. Thus, a circle, in which newspaper promotes the website and the website, brings new readers to the newspaper. Of course, the web site which belongs to well-known newspaper has an excellent starting point on the Internet.

Newspapers Vs Internet News

Statistics around the world shows that the number of readers of newspapers is falling every year, and this is very reasonable. The younger generation does not have a natural attraction to the paper, newspapers and books and they are more drawn to the buttons and screens. Therefore, it is clear that slowly, most of the budget of papers will move on to the Internet. During this transition period, they must retain its best reporters, or their level falls, and they will lose many readers.

Personally, I and my family have long ceased to read newspapers, and it happened as soon as I realized that all the news that I read there, I already knew from websites or TV. If the newspaper does not give new information, so why buy it and spend precious time. Online news sites saves time, allows you to filter content, and make information retrieval comfortable and efficient. I like sites that collect the latest news from different sources. This way you can get convenient and most reliable objective information.

Main Causes of Water Pollution

Today, the world is facing one of the most serious problems of humanity and other forms of life, pollution. It is a known fact that pollution is very rampant all over the globe. Just look around and you will see rivers, lakes, beaches that are murky, stinky, and lifeless. Plastic, empty cans, bottles, and other trash have replaced the fishes and other wonderful marine creatures that used to reside under water. Yet, when scarcity arises and when epidemics occur many point their fingers to others and turn their backs from the responsibility. But in fact there is no one else to blame but the people. Man is the main cause of water pollution.

People pollute the water with chemicals and other hazardous materials. People have no regard to water - their source of life. They do not realize that this once abundant resource is rapidly being contaminated due to their negligence and carelessness.

Waste disposal has always been a chronic problem, not only because of the quantity of wastes, but because of its kind and the inadequate provision for a good system and technology to address the problem. There are many sources of water pollution but it is not the source that is really causing the problem but the improper disposal of the pollutants. People resort to careless disposal because it is cheaper, more advantageous, or simply convenient to them.

Main Causes of Water Pollution

When you are taking a bath using your favorite shampoo or whenever you wash your laundry using no other than the best detergent in town, it is certain that before buying those products you really never consider asking yourself whether their contents can harm the environment or not. What mattered more was the scent and softness of your hair and the clean comfort of your clothes. Instead of finding an environmental friendly product, you simply chose convenience and your satisfaction of meeting your interests. However, if you will support environmental friendly products and become more conscientious of how you can avoid contributing to water pollution, then the world has gotten rid of one polluter.

In the same way, if chemical factories are only equipped with better facilities that can release treated wastewater, there will be no harm done to the lakes or rivers where they dump their by products. If home owners associations will work to build and provide their subdivisions with sewage treatment facilities, eutrophication can be controlled and dying bodies of water will be spared. But as mentioned, polluters choose the easier way where they can save on operation costs and where they can rid themselves of the hassles of responsibility. Anyway, they are not affected by the effects of their misdeeds.

Aside from improper and careless waste disposal, another main cause of water pollution is toxic substances coming from industrial, agricultural and domestic use. Trace elements of lead, cadmium, mercury, dioxins are detected in different water sources which sometimes accumulate in the water supply causing health problems. These toxic substances come from industries such mining, power plants, automobile manufacturers and others that produce toxic substances leading to bodies of water. Apart from these industries, these toxic materials contaminate the water through accidents like chemical or oil spills.

One more main cause of water pollution is the presence of excessive nutrients in the water. Nitrogen and phosphorous compounds that generally come from sewage, fertilizers, and animal manure are good food sources of algae. Excess nutrients in water also result to excessive growth of algae that deprive aquatic plants and animals adequate levels of oxygen to survive. Because of this many aquatic organisms die and decay which aggravates the problem.

Lastly, another considerable main cause of water pollution is sedimentation. Although it is hard to imagine how soil particles can contribute to water pollution, but it does. When huge amount of solid particles accumulate in water, whether due to deforestation, farming, or soil erosion, the sediments cloud the spawning grounds of fishes leading to their gradual extinction.

Humans greatly affect the environment. People will either be heroes or villains of Mother Nature. Toxic substances, algal bloom, sedimentation are all end results of human activities. These pollutants are not the real evils of water pollution but the people behind every wrong disposal and negligence. Unless man realizes that it is not the prohibition of pollutants nor banning industrial productions that should be changed but the behavior and attitude he possesses towards his environment, the rivers, lakes, and other water systems have no hope to be saved.

Rainforest Deforestation and Its Impact on World Climate

As the world population reaches a crescendo, the need for wood in various forms has only increased. Unfortunately, the naturally occurring wood available in rainforests across the world is becoming a victim of our needs. As the world population reaches a crescendo, the deforestation of naturally occurring woodlands are falling prey to human greed. But more than ever before, rainforest deforestation is impacting world climate and becoming a huge concern for the future of the earth. Let's find out what deforestation is, why it occurs, and how it impacts the global climate.

What is deforestation?

When forests that have been created naturally are cut down or burnt by humans in order to use the wood for various purposes, the process is known as deforestation. Sometimes, this process occurs naturally as well. However, most of the times, this is the handiwork of man. Some of the biggest reserves of wood are the Amazon Rainforests in Brazil, the Congo Basin Forests in Africa, and the Indonesian Rainforest in South East Asia. Deforestation can even be caused by soil erosion or naturally occurring jungle fires.

Rainforest Deforestation and Its Impact on World Climate

Why does deforestation happen?

There are many reasons for rainforest deforestation. Some of the most common and well-known reasons for this include:

- Fuel: trees or the charcoal derived from them is used as fuel. Oftentimes, charcoal is sold in the market as an alternate means of fuel in many countries. Tree branches are also cut, dried, and used as fuel for cooking etc.

- Land use: For many years, human beings have been cutting down trees in order to clear land so that they can use it as pastures for their livestock. As the human population increases, so does the need to feed livestock. Unfortunately, more and more trees are cut to make way for greener pastures for feeding cows, goats, sheep etc.

- Settlements: As habitable land becomes dearer and dearer, people need cheaper land options for settling down. Rainforests present a wonderful opportunity and therefore, people cut down trees to make way for settlements. These trees are removed without proper care and complete apathy for reforestation.

How deforestation impacts global environment?

As the green cover gets destroyed, the fragile ecosystems get destroyed or become imbalanced. Rainforest deforestation also leads to damaged habitats, loss of biodiversity, imbalance in the microenvironment and aridity. Regions that are deforested get affected by soil erosion and soon than later turn in wastelands. It becomes very difficult for this land to be restored back to its former self. Over the years, these wastelands can even become deserts.

Deforestation also leads to extinction of rare trees, animals, insects, flowers and other naturally occurring things. An ongoing issue in many countries, deforestation must be stopped in order to combat their devastating effects on the global climatic conditions.

While there are many other reasons besides population growth for rainforest deforestation, we must remember that deforestation plays a significant role in shaping the global geography and climate and for this reason alone it must be curbed and combated.
