1 Corinthians 15:33 states that bad morals corrupts good character. We need to consider what we are opening ourselves up to with any worldly entertainment; especially with the filth available these days. I went without a TV from 2014 until early 2021 after my separation and divorce. Part of it was financial but I found that I could get information online (my cell phone being my only communication source). Now that I'm home with my parents; I still have to be cautious (even with the nearly 100 year old movies they watch quite often).
Gossip; of course is another thing to avoid. Things like this aren't really doctrines as much as moral expectations fitting of those with the Spirit and examples of the character of a new creation. It has been pointed out the situation where someone is struggling with sin and people start praying about it or discussing it. First of all; we need to ASK someone who we know if they don't mind us sharing it with others for prayer; and what parts they want to leave out. There are of course extenuating circumstances of someone who is a threat to others or harming themselves where we may need to break certain protocol. It still is better to tell someone directly that you feel this approach is needed; as well as refer someone to a more qualified individual if it is something we are not adept at handling ourselves. There are times when we want to say something but we have wisdom from God to remain silent; trusting that things will come up at the appropriate time. Trusting that the truth will always come out is helpful in our Christian walk; and also trusting that waiting and patience is often the best approach.
Greed is something all too easy to get into. I have taken another long hiatus for over a month now from coin collecting. Financial reasons is part of it but it can become an unhealthy obsession. That is a good rule to follow: any get rich quick scheme should be avoided.
