Gone were
the days where we are exhorted at churches and taught by our parents to carry
the Bible while going to church or any prayer meetings. It looks beautiful in
my eyes to see people carrying the Bible
(hard copy) while going to church and I personally loves to carry a Bigger
Bible. When I was at my teens and adult stage I love to carry a thin and sleek
tiny bible. However the bottom line is I
loved to carry the bible neither a bigger or sleek one. But the current
christendom has changed and the bible is packed as one among the tiny
applications in our smart phone. A survey conducted in America states that an
average users unlocks/tap their phone approx 2500 times per day. I believe
indians would be using more than that looking at the social conditions of
India. Below depicts some fascinating
statistics ;
Evil was existing from the beginning ever since Adam & Eve
sinned and then spread across rapidly across the world. However the exposure
was very less, we rarely hear any news/information may be after days, Months,
years and even decades and some not even got exposed at all. But due to the
exponential growth of Technology, Media has taken the highest source of medium
to bring the news/information to our eyes and ears. Since the exposure is very
high we became anxious and some vulnerable people even may go stressed or
offended. Bible says, In the multitude of words sin is not lacking, But he who restrains
his lips is wise - Prov 10:19. By
looking at the context of this verse, we are very vulnerable to fall apart in
SIN by hearing and seeing more information as our social media is inundated
with tons of information.
When we do not know where to draw a line of resistance
then perhaps the probabilities are way higher to fall into sin - so it is high
time for us to exercise the technology by applying and installing the proper
security software's to human mind which is none other than self control
practiced by the usage of BIBLE (Hard
copy). Because through the Bible(hard
copy) , no other external exhortation or information can pass through or infact
there is no medium at all, it is ceased at all sides. But the social media
through our smart phone has number of external windows to bring in irrelevant
information surpassing the security featured installed in your smart phone and
can hurt your mind, soul and Body beyond expectations and our imaginations.
I
have been taught in my missionary trainings how and where to draw a line of
resistance in our modern life style. It is very imperative to act on it with
immediate effect. It is NOT wrong to use technology but should have been known
to set our limits and frequency of usage , in other words if you
know/identified your vision and calling then it will help pave the way to set
our limits or draw the line of resistance to reach our destiny like Daniel did.
He made a firm decision in his life not to get stained with Kings dinner table
- From the books of Daniel 1st chapter.
Imagine a BIBLE
is novated in the place of Smart phone, the maturity we have attained
would be way higher and can effectively communicate the GOSPEL by telling and
living.
Time to uninstall and install the right package -
