God Already Warned You

God put warning labels in the Bible long before the government put them on anything.

There is a way which seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death. — Proverbs 14:12

One sentence. No fine print. The destination is hell.

Poison bottles and high-voltage fences followed suit. See the label, understand the danger, make a choice. Works fine when the danger is fast.

Cigarettes are slower. The labels didn't do much. Taxes did more. But at least we named it.

In 1985, Tipper Gore dragged the music industry in front of Congress and forced "Parental Advisory — Explicit Content" onto album covers. Some of those albums sold better because of it. But an industry admitted its product could harm a child. That's not nothing.

Christians shouldn't need Washington to tell them that.

The light of the body is the eye: if therefore thine eye be single, thy whole body shall be full of light. But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body shall be full of darkness. — Matthew 6:22–23

Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God. — 2 Corinthians 10:5

The Bible already mapped this territory. Covetousness. Comparison. The fear of man. Social media didn't invent those sins. It just handed them to your children.

A warning label assumes you're still free to choose. But the Christian is called to something higher than a label. Flee. Guard. Set no wicked thing before your eyes.

The label may slow the world down. The Word of God ought to stop us cold.
