Psalm 101:3 in the new King James Version says, I will set nothing wicked before my eyes. I hate the work of those who fall away. It shall not cling to me. Wow. It shall not cling to me. The evil we watch or listen to clings to us. Psalm 101:3 in the passion translation says, I refuse to gaze upon that which is vulgar.
I despise works of evil and anything that moves my heart away from you. I will not let evil hold me in its grip. Every sin begins with a thought, and I need to root out the thought that caused this sin. Repenting of the sin is good and necessary, but I need to get to the root of the sin.
If I don't, the sin will pop up again in a different place. Henry David Thoreau in his book Walden, wrote, there are a thousand hacking at the branches of evil. To one who is striking at the root, the ungodly thought that began the whole process is the root of the sin.
