Navigating Our Digital Age (Gen 11) Saraland Sermons - saralandchristians.com

- キリスト教
In a world where our lives are increasingly lived online, the lines between reality and virtuality blur, leaving us to navigate a complex digital landscape. Our social media feeds are inundated with perfectly curated images, compelling us to compare, to chase after likes, to build a brand out of our very beings. But in this relentless pursuit, what are we truly seeking?
Not long ago, news broke that 33 states have taken a stand against Facebook, now known as Meta, accusing the social media giant of knowingly endangering the well-being of its users for profit. This unprecedented legal challenge throws into sharp relief a question that lurks in the shadows of our daily scrolls and likes: At what cost do we engage with these platforms? What is the true impact of our digital footprints on our hearts, our minds, and our souls?
Today, we embark on a journey through Scripture, visiting ancient towers, fallen kings, and the opulence of wisdom itself gone astray. We'll explore the stories of the Tower of Babel, the fall of Saul, and Solomon's folly, each a mirror reflecting our own struggles in the age of social media. These narratives invite us to ponder a critical question: Are we building monuments to ourselves, to others, or to the ephemeral allure of material possessions? Or are we called to something greater, something eternal?
As we look into these biblical lessons, let us consider how we might navigate the digital age with purpose and integrity. How can we, as followers of Christ, use social media not as a tool for self-glorification but as a platform for glorifying God? How do we ensure that our online presence reflects our true identity as image bearers of the Divine?
