“Do not love the world or the things of the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world-the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life-is not of the Father but is from the world.”
~1 John 2:15-16
Comment:
The world is evil. Almost everywhere we look, we are confronted with vile, wicked things. Recent technology hasn’t helped things improve either. In fact, things like the Internet and TV have only added to the already long list of definite temptations.
But that doesn’t mean that we are sinning and indulging in evil things by using the Internet or watching television. There are many God glorifying ways we can worship Him through technology.
But we must be careful and pray for discernment. It can be way too easy to be drawn into something that can cause us to sin.
As Christians, we must keep watchful eyes over what we allow into our homes and our hearts. The enemy is subtle in his tactics and he will try everything he can to draw our focus away from God.
We must be careful. We must always seek God in all things. Deception is easily avoided when the first Person we turn to for guidance is God. We must pray. We must read the Word. We must arm ourselves against the deception of the demons and ask the Holy Spirit for a mind of discernment.
