Traditional roles have changed A LOT in our modern world, and in many households, these roles are reversed 180 degrees, and all variations in between. But one thing is beginning to show up a little too frequently, and that is we are becoming a lonelier and lonelier population, while ironically, at the same time, engaging with thousand of faceless names throughout the known universe, through all of our social media highways. We are becoming more and more isolated, while living under the illusion that we're not, because of our heavy tech dependance and involvement. The bottom line is… We need each other. We need REAL relationships, with REAL people. That's not a weakness! Relationships are strength, and Christians are not immune to this problem. Christians, are notorious for getting frustrated with all the world's changes, all the rapid breaking of tradition, and societal anchors and… and we end up leaving relationships behind. As Christians, we love to stay in our own bubbles, and surround ourselves with people that agree with us. And sometimes those bubbles get very small. BUT… We’ve been commanded, by Jesus himself, to bring THE GOOD NEWS to the world. And unfortunately for our comfort zone, the world is outside the walls of our home, and the safe church family. While tech is an amazing tool, , and instead of just sharing the love of God on social media, we can sit down across the table from someone, and show them what the love of Jesus looks like, in a real world engagement. We no longer live in our traditional world. Very few families just sit around the dinner table every night and talk about their day. People are tied to their phones, and they're tied to their devices, and and we all do it. A TikTok video, an IG video… It's not the same as a relationship. A follower on any of your social media platforms, is not relationship. We need to be face to face with people. Show them the love of Jesus face to face.
