Lesson 28 Eternal Pleasures at the Cross of Jesus
Testimony
Ken writes, "My addiction is the tv to a large extent and the iPad to lesser extent. I’ve spent all of my life looking for satisfaction, pleasure , fulfillment , release by watching tv. There were times when I found those things but they were always fleeting. What I never bargained for was the baggage that came with vegging out in from of a tv for hours. Failing eye health, poor health, loss of esteem and tragic waste of time and ability.
I am today 49, and are very aware of the talents God has given me. The same talents I have buried to go watch tv. Today, in him I have found hope, through a resurgent faith in the gospel of Jesus Christ. I still watch tv, but not as much. More importantly the Lord has made space for me to start recovering those talents then put them to great use. He’s a blesseing not only in my struggle with media, but my life. I’ve made such a mess of things but he’s given us hope in it all, that through focusing on the cross we can live life to the full.

Sarah writes, "I do identify with Ken. I identify with his struggle and I identify with his victory. I know that our only hope, our joy and our life and our freedom are in the cross, and our savior Jesus Christ."
Ola writes, "Definitely. I know I have God-given talents and I get frustrated that they may not being used they way God intended them to be. I feel that perhaps at certain points in my life media, sexual self-gratification and gluttony may have caused me to stall in my spiritual and physical life (career). I no longer want wastes in my life. I want to live life to the full the way God wants me to."
