Technology that distracts me from my purposeful life-track

Daily writing promptWhat technology would you be better off without, why?View all responses

Use technology. Don’t let it use you!

The technology of distraction has no attraction for me. If you’ve read any of my blog posts, you’ve probably noticed that I have a deep sense of calling and meaning in my life, so I strive to avoid the technology (and anything else) that distracts me from my purpose.

However, I greatly appreciate my computer and my phone because they both give me a way to utilize many platforms to tell people about how real and amazing the risen Jesus Christ is. I avoid online distractions and use the internet as a tool for proclaiming the love, power, and presence of Jesus. I go online as a missionary, not as a mission field. I want to share the good news of Jesus, not consume online negativity, conspiracy theories, and unkindness.

Christians are called to non-stop, day and night awareness of and surrender to the risen Jesus. Nothing should deter us from that mission. We need faith that is firmalized.

It’s time to firmalize our faith by making it steadfast and immovable, not formalize it with religious routine. Firmalize your faith. Cultivate daily dependence and ongoing reliance on the living Jesus. If you’re a Christian, refuse to snooze (even briefly) in your relationship with Christ.

Without snooze-control it’s easy to sleep thru life. It’s time to lose the snooze and wake up to the reality of the risen Jesus!

When demons try
To get you
To misuse
And abuse
Your mind
With tempting or
Tormenting thoughts,
If you snooze,
You’ll lose.
Resist the devil
And he will flee.
