There's so much we allow into our hearts and minds via TV, movies and etc. I remember this being an issue that was spoken about in churches. Today, not so much.
Today, teens are lost without their cell phone. To take it away would be like the worst abuse imaginable in their eyes. We as believers need to wake up to what we're feeding our hearts and minds.
