Test cultural toxins

S 1.) Am I being entertained by sin?
2.) Is this pleasing to God? and
3.) Does this lure me away from Christ?

but test them all; hold on to what is good,
1 Thessalonians 5:21 NIV
https://bible.com/bible/111/1th.5.21.NIV

Who may ascend the mountain of the Lord ? Who may stand in his holy place?  The one who has clean hands and a pure heart, who does not trust in an idol or swear by a false god.
Psalm 24:3‭-‬4 NIV
https://bible.com/bible/111/psa.24.3-4.NIV
When we interpret everything according to God's Word and the purity of His truth, we will realize there are a lot of things people are doing that really don't draw us closer to God. 

People will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive, disobedient to their parents, ungrateful, unholy, without love, unforgiving, slanderous, without self-control, brutal, not lovers of the good, treacherous, rash, conceited, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God— having a form of godliness but denying its power. Have nothing to do with such people.
2 Timothy 3:2‭-‬5 NIV
https://bible.com/bible/111/2ti.3.2-5.NIV

Strive for the things that matter to God and not for the things that matter to others.
