Ephesians 4:19 and 5:3-4

Every day at lunch I like to sit in my car and read my Bible, it helps me get through the day. The other day I was reading Ephesians 4 and 5, and I discovered just how many important things that Scripture teaches us. I started to write down all the things we could learn if we read them and I was especially struck hard with verses 4:19 and 5:3-4. So I want to share that with you. Some of you may think I am being extreme. I know even my own siblings would not totally agree with me on this, but if you read the verses- even in context, you can't deny what I am about to write.
Ephesians 4:17-19 says "So I tell you this, and insist on it in the Lord, that you must no longer live as the Gentiles do, in the futility of their thinking. They are darkened in the understanding and separated from the life of God because of ignorance that is in them due to the hardening of their hearts. Having lost all sensitivity, they have given themselves over to sensuality so as to indulge in every kind of impurity, with a continual lust for more. "
Verse 19 is in bold. Everyone can read that and understand it means don't live like the world lives, because they are bad people. I want you to listen to what God showed me:
Some of us have lost all sensitivity to the sins of the world. We watch and hear what they hear. We willingly allow ourselves to be subject to sins. When we do this we ourselves are sinning, we become desensitized to cursing, sex, violence, and fear. I speak for myself, not condemning anyone. I have been convicted personally in the movies that I watch. How many of us watch movies or TV shows with sex, violence, language, sexual content, and coarse joking? We all do. How many of us after watching a movie actually remember the sex scenes, or the swear words? How many of us can count the number of times they used Lords name in vain? Not too many of us. This my friends, is being desensitized. We do not notice the sins, we ignore the very things God tells us not to ignore. As a matter of fact, God tells us to FLEA from these things. Instead, we go to a theater, watch it all, then when it comes out on video we buy it and bring it into our homes!!! What did God say the Gentiles did after they became desensitized? Oh yah, indulge in impurity with lust for more.... God does not want us to be comfortable watching or hearing this junk!!!
Now on to Chapter 5 verses 3-4:
"But among you there must not be even a hint of sexual immorality, or of any kind of impurity, or of greed, because these are improper for God's holy people. Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving."
These two verses are parallel to the verses from chapter 4, it kind of breaks down what it is that we are tolerating. The things described in Ephesians 5:3-4 are exactly what the world today finds entertaining. Try finding a TV show or movie that doesn't have atleast ONE of those characteristics in it.... Can you think of one? Maybe Veggie Tales? or possibly some other Children's show. God very obviously tells us to stay away from that stuff, before we lose all sensitivity, and indulge in the sin.
