It's Giving...Idol.Sample
DAY 8: TECHNOLOGY, SOCIAL MEDIA.
Thanks to the Internet and smartphones, we use apps for just about everything in our culture. Every form of entertainment, music, and news is at our fingertips 24/7. If we aren’t careful, it can influence and consume us.
We start to idolize what others have instead of all that God has already blessed us with. Then we complain about not hearing God, but how can we with all the noise?
Homework:
-Try going 24 hours social media-free. If this seems like ‘cake’ to you, try it for a full 7 days.
-To the strongest soldiers, go the next month without the influences of social media. Log out of all socials and use your physical Bible distraction-free.
-Journal your discoveries over the next 24 hours, 7 days, or month. What has God shown you about your dependency on technology and social media? How have you committed to change?
