I meditate.
I contemplate.
I also quit watching TV 28 years ago. The only mass media I pay much attention to is right here at FR.

The lost art of...
understanding the scriptures

due to...
the lost art of reading it at all.

meditation is very misunderstood. Even the article puts all eastern practice under, “empty the mind”... not so. Even much eastern meditation teaches a focal point.

But, I understand through experience that most western christians find meditation to be some scary new age concept. Ignorant to say the least. Even heard others say you could get a demon from meditation....maybe so, if you wanted one.

contemplate, roll over in the mind, discerning, rightly dividing...all of which takes some form of meditating on scripture.

[Colonel Kangaroo]

Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly, nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful.

But his delight is in the law of the Lord; and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

Psalms 1:1-2

Thank you for this introduction! I am better for it:

to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us
from all unrighteousness.” 1 John 1:9
