 Has technology won us over?
 Are electronic devices hindering you from serving the
Lord?
 Matthew 13:22: Have the “cares and pleasures of
this life” consumed you?
 Social networking: The way the world communicates
in the 21st
century.
 Examples: Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, Google+.
 2014: 1.79 billion social network users worldwide. By
2018, 2.44 billion users.
 What does social networking have to do with
Christianity?
 It affects us: Positively and negatively.
 It is addicting
◦ Interactive: Connect/reconnect with people.
◦ The experience can consume the mind, time,
energy and even money.
 It encourages self-centeredness
◦ Gal. 2:20: Rid self and gain Christ.
◦ Much of the focus is posting about me.
 It can become a breeding ground for gossip
◦ II Thess. 3:11: Many type without thinking; it’s
spontaneous.
◦ Social networking is not sinful in and of itself.
◦ Pros: Announcing milestones in your life, gospel
meetings, etc.
◦ Cons: Cyber-bullying, inappropriate relationships,
etc.
◦ We oftentimes find out who people really are by
what they post and share (Prov. 18:7; Matt.
6:24).
 Who or what rules over you?
◦ Gen. 4:7; Matt. 5:30, 6:24.
◦ Matt. 22:37-39: The Golden Rule.
◦ Praise and glorify God (I Cor. 10:30-31).
◦ Eph. 5:15-16: Invest our time wisely.
 Instead, we can spend our time in prayer
◦ Let God know what’s on your mind.
◦ I Thess. 5:17; Matt. 6:32-34; Phil. 4:6.
 We must realize and fulfill our walk with Jesus
Christ in all things we do (Col. 3:17).
