Today's topic:

*SOCIAL MEDIA DISTRACTION*

*Scripture Readings:* Ephesians 5:1-3; Ecclesiastes 3:1-8

Exposition
Some years ago, there was a message circulating on social media titled:
“the day Einstein feared may have finally arrived”. In this message
was a quote, “I fear the day that technology will surpass our human
interaction...” and a picture of about eight different groups of young
people looking intently on their phone screens, obviously isolated from
each other and their environments.
Though the authenticity of the quote above attributed to the famous
inventor, Albert Einstein, has been strongly challenged by several people,
the accuracy of this quote has never been a source of contention even
until now. The irony of our time is such that social media and the
internet have connected people more than anything in the history of
humankind, yet today people are lonelier and isolated more than ever.
Social media has provided such a distraction from real life on a philosophy
that virtual is real. This is why it is not surprising that people have
now found solace and an “escape route” to their environment in social
media anytime they feel uncomfortable or bored with it, even during
church meetings. To such people, this is the best place to vent their
emotions. This is hurting relationships in every sphere of life: parents
and children, marriages, families, friends and even our relationship
with God. Ecclesiastes 3 makes it plain and simple: there is time for
everything. As Christians, we need to make good use of our time and
avoid a false balance.

Prayer: Pray as you are led (BE)

*MEMORY VERSE FOR THE WEEK*
Ephesians 5:15 (NIV) – Be very careful, then, how you live-not as
unwise but as wise.
