Intro:
Social media/texting/quick contact is probably one of the most remarkable achievements in human history
Like anything in the world, social media can be used for immense good.
However, it can also be used for immense evil.
Tonight, i’m not just talking about social media, but all forms of media.
Video games, music, texting, video chat, social media
There has been a gigantic increase in anxiety and depression starting at 2011 going until now.
From 2009-2015 statistics revealed that girls 15-19 who were admitted to hospital for non-fatal self harm rose 62*
10-14 rose 189%
Suicide rates 15-19 rose 70%
10-14 rose 151%
How is your generation spending its time?
Come home from school
Get on devices
A whole generation is more anxious, depressed, less risks,
Mankind was not made to be isolated
You may think that media brings people together, when in reality it drives us further apart.
3 out of 4 people would rather have a text conversation than a conversation in person (PEW research facility)
Texts can be misunderstood and misinterpreted.
People in general prefer a text/call/email over in person conversation.
Do you think that is a positive or negative thing?
Our relationships cannot be solely online
Relationships are a skill that needs to be developed
Reading non verbal cues, tone of voice, time and place to ask/answer question
These skills can’t be developed online.
We have inoculated ourselves to reality by taking this
I know statistics are the most fascinating thing, but it can
Media can be a beneficial thing if used in moderation.
Tongiht, we’re looking at 7 principles for our media and a commitment we can live by because of it.
1.
My media will never replace my relationship with God.
Media gets in the way of what is important sometimes.
Not just relationships with man, but also our relationship with God.
Don’t allow your media to keep you from your most important relationship.
2. My media will glorify God and others, NOT myself
Media can take us to distant lands.
media can help us to numb our brains.
is it possible media takes away our ability to see the needs of others?
Media takes away our ability to love God and others
3. I will control my words in my media
My words will be honest
My words will be Christ focused, not self-focused
My words will be kind
4. A God-honoring heart will control my media, my media will not control my heart.
Garbage in-garbage out
THe only way to control this is by being proactive with the throne of your heart.
Who or what are you allowing on the throne of your heart?
5.
I will display a God-honoring testimony through my media.
What does it mean to be worthy of the gospel?
Can we even be worthy of the gospel?
If we are being controlled by our media we are not worthy of the gospel.
We are totally unworthy
6.
My media will not be the main priority of my life.
As humans we are called to do certain things
Whether school, work, ministry.
Chores
Etc.
Media cannot get in the way and distract you from what you should be doing .
7. My media will not be dependent on man’s praise.
Do you ever wonder about who is following you
If that person liked your post?
If other’s thought your new haircut was...”cute”
Life isn’t meant to be lived for man’s praise.
Is that where you are allowing yourself to live?
