Isaiah 5:20
20 Woe to those who call evil good
and good evil,
who put darkness for light
and light for darkness,
who put bitter for sweet
and sweet for bitter.
I've been thinking lately about how much technology has shaped who we are as a world. Don't get me wrong technology is great, in fact, I use it frequently; but is it used efficiently for the kingdom of God? Sure we all have Facebook accounts to keep in touch with family and friends virtually. However, if we're not careful, these technological expansions can cause us to erase from our minds what God has done to us. We may have made huge leaps in technology, but have we satisfied our basic human needs and solved our problems? This ties into the unity concept that I mentioned last week.
The world seems to be hindering our churches and definitely our faith. When you think of your priorities, think of them in a pyramid shape. From top to bottom, list your priorities from least significant to most significant. Notice how the bottom part is larger. Thus, you spend more time in that area. The world says lets invert the pyramid and turn it upside down. Everything that should be in the large area representing what we dedicate most of our time toward instead takes place less frequently and vice versa. That was my main reason for starting this blog. So many people use the Internet constantly and I thought it'd be great to have people spending time with God while surfing the web for at least a few minutes each day.
I guess my point is that as a Christian you shouldn't let the worldly ways and attitudes counteract what the church and particularly God says is right. Is our culture affecting us more than we're affecting our culture? The world needs to see you living a real, genuine Christian life. God can use you in various ways. It's time to turn the world upside down (or should I say right side up!!!)
