获取软件An Analog Life in a Digital World预览
When you pick up your tablet, or turn on the TV, do you ever do it in the name of the Lord? When you’re on social media, do you think of yourself and your profile first as a representative of Jesus or just of yourself? Verse 17 -do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus- is one of those challenges in scripture that brings everything into clear focus, and the previous verses help us see what it looks like to live out that call. The goal is not to be legalistic– it’s to examine the choices that we are making day in and day out to see if they glorify God. So take a minute and think about how your interactions with technology bring you closer to the attributes of God’s chosen ones in verse 13, or produce the peace of Christ mentioned in verse 15. Open yourself to the Holy Spirit’s guidance and conviction.

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.
