As I was scrolling through my emails, my eye caught your post about scrolling.
Anyways, the subject matter is real and I’m sure the topic needs to be discussed and understood properly with good discernment and warnings to heed.
In fact, while my wife and I were talking about it a bit, it caused her to think of a passage that will be part of BSF (Bible Study Fellowship perhaps?) this year that I copied and pasted below.
Following the Spirits nudge is what we are called to do when speaking out about things in our lives that are negatively influencing our lives, especially if we possibly believe it isn’t affecting me at all.
Thanks for the post. And enjoy the day that the Lord has made,
“If I say to the wicked person, ‘You will surely die,’ but you do not warn him — you don’t speak out to warn him about his wicked way in order to save his life — that wicked person will die for his iniquity. Yet I will hold you responsible for his blood. But if you warn a wicked person and he does not turn from his wickedness or his wicked way, he will die for his iniquity, but you will have saved your life. Now if a righteous person turns from his righteousness and practices iniquity, and I put a stumbling block in front of him, he will die. If you did not warn him, he will die because of his sin and the righteous acts he did will not be remembered. Yet I will hold you responsible for his blood. But if you warn the righteous person that he should not sin, and he does not sin, he will indeed live because he listened to your warning, and you will have saved your life.”
Ezekiel 3:18-21 HCSB
Question? Do the above verses rather complicate our whimsical sedentary unspoken protocols, or what is its purpose? merlin
Lest we forget, here is one of many quotes from the Aug 22 Scrolling post stating the cause & effect of smartphones now act as “digital syringe[s]… to a lifelong, brain-altering, relationship – destroying addiction” to dopamine (21) such that “more time spent in a disembodied environment leads to increasingly unnatural (nor Biblical) perspectives on gender, community, and relationships.”
