Casting Pearls - Trash or not?

As Christians we must be discerning about the things we must face in this world around us. I believe that Oswald Chambers had the best analogy of how we should look at the things we face in this world. A man named Jeff was being served breakfast and began drinking some of the milk given him. The waiter asked him, "do you know what that is?' Jeff answered it is Milk. The waiter said "it is a fluid expelled  from a cow, just like urine or something like that" Jeff quickly changed to eating some of his egg, and the waiter again said "do you know where that came from?" and the waiter went on to explain how the egg came out of the same place on a chicken that the poop came out. The man was disgusted by all this but realized that we must know what things are for us to eat and use and what are waste. just as with food, in this world we must be discerning as  to what is natural and what is good only as trash. Throughout this world we face these choices every day. In the case of Food or in the case of literature, or in the case of tv shows. We must decide what of these things are meant for trash and which are good for us. We are bombarded in life with the things the Devil would have us allow to dirty up our lives. The most important thing we can do is to hold up everything around us to the Holy light of God. The things of darkness will be revealed and the things of God will be seen as well.
