| GIGO |
| What are we taking in through our eyes and ears? |
| When I was a young person, computers were about the size of a classroom, and involved laboriously feeding information into them through computer punch-cards. Back then there was an expression Garbage in — garbage out, (GIGO). In other words, computers will unquestioningly process unintended, even nonsensical, input data (“garbage in”) and produce undesired, often nonsensical output data (“garbage out”). |
| There is an application of this in our Christian life. The Lord made several statements on the subject, and here are just a couple: |
| “Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh” (Matthew 12:34). |
| “Those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies” (Matthew 15:18-19). |
| Let’s be careful what we take in … what we watch … what we read … what we hear … etc. |
