Don't Press Sin On Your Phone

  I’d argue that the greatest cultural change in the last fifty years has been the cell phone. The first mobile phone call was made 45 years ago but the greatest change came with the introduction of the smartphone in the early 2000s. Now everyone has information and entertainment at their ready. A single tool that can do all kinds of amazing things that were revolutionary in numerous separate devices just a few years back.

  Yet like any tool, it can be a danger.

  The ease at which the internet can be reached can be made for good but also evil. The social media interaction it provides can be a helpful boost but also a harmful habit. It can take us across the globe at the punch of a button but can also remove us from our friends and family.

  Lots of good things can be made into evil. Anything that we allow control of us can be turned into a master for evil. I think we are just at the tip of the iceberg for how these new inventions will shape and change society. Yet the solution for keeping them into turning in vehicles for evil is simple:

Whatever you do in word or deed, do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks through Him to God the Father.

Colossians 3:17 

  We must keep Christ at the top. Our word, either when spoken in a receiver or typed in a text, must be done in his name and his way. What be play, post or peruse must be in keeping with his standard of holiness.  This tool should be used to cause gratitude towards God, not as an outreach of Satan. 

 Our master can’t be an iPhone or an Android but the Lord and Savior.
