An Analog Life in a Digital World预览
Well done! If you’re finishing this plan today, it means you successfully used technology to consider how God wants to transform your life and habits! How did it go? How did the mealtime challenge go? What guard rails will you put up in your life to cultivate a healthier lasting relationship with technology?
It can feel a little overwhelming to consider all the ways we could use technology for expanding God’s Kingdom on earth, but be encouraged by Paul’s words to the church in Corinth. 2 Corinthians 3:18a (ESV) says that we “are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another.” Paul is saying that Christians become more like Jesus (sanctified) one degree at a time. Think of a compass with 360 degrees. This verse says we are transformed from ONE degree to the next. And that word “transformed” – it’s the same word in Greek that we find in Romans 12:2 that we read on Day 1 of this plan (“be transformed by the renewal of your mind”).
So don’t give up when you feel like progress is slow. Focus on changing one degree at a time. Little by little, you’ll notice you’re headed in an entirely different direction!
Take a Next Step: Choose one “rule of life” that you will establish for yourself when it comes to using technology moving forward. Some examples might be to keep phones off of the dinner table, to set a time limit on a social media app, or to spend time with God every morning before you do anything else on your phone.

Screens dominate our daily experience, especially the one in our hands. The allure is taking priority over connection with God. But we can’t blame technology for our upside-down priorities. Digital innovations have put bibles in pockets and worship services in living rooms. We can learn to accept the good, reject the bad, and follow Jesus through it all by living an analog life in a digital world.
