Sunday Seven
- We are in a digital world where everyone is trying to sell us something. Are we blindly buying what others are selling? Do we stop and think, "Is this something I truly need?" This question applies to material things and things we can't touch.
- People are not always telling the truth in the digital world. The perceived value of things is what you see. People can rent a lifestyle. They display that fake lifestyle to convince you to buy a certain product. The trust you give is not earned through honesty but fakery. Discernment is a good friend.
- No one shows the true reality of life. When cameras and filters go off, real life begins. I know it seems like transparency. The difference between real life and digital life is the ability to conjure a reaction from the viewer. Sometimes, the reaction is the movement of fingers that keep scrolling for hours. Inaction is the reaction.
- We live in a world where people in many areas of life agree that exposure to digital content is detrimental to children and teens. Dangerous is a better way to describe the fruit of little eyes and brains growing up digital. Adults are suffering too.
- Most digital platforms are what I call gray places. They are not right or wrong. They are not black or white. They are just gray. The interesting fact about the platforms is our ability to measure how long we spend there and the results of that investment of our priceless time.
- While I agree with digital minimalism, I do not agree with digital exodus. The field is wide open for the Gospel of Jesus Christ. My conviction is that I can't be blinded by the lure of the world. I need to reflect my Savior's attitude and demeanor everywhere. He was all about the Father's business.
- It is okay to take a stand for virtue and honor in the digital world. It is okay to unlike and unfollow without an accompanying rant. It is okay to practice Christian integrity in all our interactions and viewing habits. It is good to be in the world but not in the world.
