In this episode of the Straight Truth Podcast Dr. Richard Caldwell and host, Dr. Josh Philpot respond to a series of questions about the believer and entertainment. Dr. Philpot talks about the fact that we have a constant barrage of entertainment choices to choose from. They come offered to us in many forms of media choices, places we can go to eat, and even music venues we can attend and take part in. We have an endless smorgasbord of all-day instant access to just about anything. The questions that arise when thinking about all these choices are serious questions. What forms of entertainment is okay for Christians to choose to take part in? How much entertainment is too much? What should the Christians process of thinking be about what is good and what is not? Dr. Caldwell agrees there's an endless barrage of entertainment choices, and thinks in some ways we are being entertained to death. What he sees in this constant draw to be entertained is it somewhat reveals the lack of satisfaction that we know in our lives and in our walk with God. This is especially the case when we think about it taking up hours and hours of our time. When we are doing this, we are looking for something, we are looking for some form of pleasure, enjoyment or satisfaction. He suggests if we find this to be the case in our life, we really need to examine what we have in our walk with God. We need to ask ourselves if our relationship with God real? Do we really know the Lord? If it is and we do, we then need to ask ourselves if we are pursuing Him. If we are, what does that pursuit look like in terms of reading the Word of God, meditating upon what we've read, praying, etc.? Dr. Caldwell believe
