Our era

Much of our lives are wrapped up and innertwined with the online world, through social media, such as, Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, and many others. The social media wave is not a passing fad. It is here to stay, getting more intricate everyday. Not only is it changing how we relate to others, but it is changing the way our whole world is run. When you think back to a time, not so far back, when the television was new, mostly in middle classed homes and there was only black and white. Just a few decades further and we read of the invention of the lightbulb. We have come a long way in such a short time. Most homes now have a television in every room, or at least two. There was only one telephone in each home and, again mostly middle class and up had them, when they became poplular. Now, everyone has their own cell phone to carry everywhere they go, even young children. Then there are the games, movies, and all the electronics that go along with all of the above. What next?... What about our soul?... The Bible tells of a church that was rich and increased with goods and thought it needed nothing. What a dangerous place to be. But with all the trincates and gizmos making life so simple and defined, it would be easy to leave God out, or, feel we don't need God. What a lie. No matter how far man grows he will always be empty inside without God. Unless we surrender completely, we will all end in torment. Eccl. 7:29 Lo, this only have I found, that God hath made man upright, but they have sought out many inventions.I am grateful for the electronic age, and the information age. We were chosen to live at this time. However, we are also given an ultimatum, with out trincates and gadgets will we serve the Lord or feel we don't need saving. Humilaty is key. The kind I mean is when we surrender over our will and live for God's purpose. We are living in an incredible era, but don't think we have outgrown the need for a savior. All have sinned and come short of the glory of God. Stay focused my friend, stay focused on the things that truly matter and be blessed. Amen
