Everyone is Being Discipled By Something

 Everyone is being discipled by something.  

Everyone.  Everywhere. 

All the time. 

The messages we hear, the words we read, the shows we watch - all of it is shaping us.  Drip by drip our worldviews and beliefs are being formed and these shape the way we think and the actions that we take.

The dominant messages in our lives will shape us.  There is no way around that.  If we listen to talk radio all day long, guess what - we will begin to think and process our world through a lens shaped by the message of the radio shows we listen to.

If we watch prime time television and late night talk shows daily, guess what - we will begin to think and process our world through a lens shaped by the messages of the shows we watch.

What we watch, listen to and read are all shaping us.

We have no power over the shaping but we do have the power to chose what will shape us.  

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.

What is shaping you?
