In the world we are living today, technology has swept all kinds of manners even in the church. This is a strong tide that we have to contain and return to the previous years where we lived free of the slavery that comes with this technology. Nowadays, you will realize that people do text in church or even some receiving their calls. Well, I am not saying this is a crime or a felony, the fact is that its not right. Keep reading to know more about this technological slavery in Pentecostal fellowship.
It is all agreeable that technology has made our lives better in all manner of ways. This way we cannot just criticize it. However, with the trends nowadays, this has to be talked about. You will notice that the kids will have their own activities or even church activities within the week.
You will realize that even the kids will not accomplish anything without using their phones. For instance in a simple basketball game. You will find that the kids will once in awhile check their phones. This means that they cannot do without the phones. This is what is called cell phone slavery.
This does not mean that the tech is not good; well it has in a lot of ways helped this life be bearable. This is with the fast communication and internet access. Well, this is what has also taken us to the other side. This starts where your friend decides to give you a call.
In connection to this, if you fail to pick the phone call, then the person calling will have to wonder what is wrong with you. There is the perception that allows people to be open-minded about calls.
On the flip side, there are those that will act opposite to this and ask you if you are okay or are something wrong. Well, this is somewhat better but the same in context. This individual also expects that you should say something on your phone. If not so, then all is not well. This should never be the case; if you do not answer your phone, the reason is that you did not want to, not that you are not safe. When we distinguish this, we will free ourselves from the tech slavery once and for all.
Do you have a bible? Well, this is stat questioning that when asked all will say yes. It may be the case since most of the people will have that soft copy on their cell phones. However, even after this replacement, you will find that most of the people will not even open their bibles. This is because their times have been occupied by other things apart from the things that should or at least give time to. On the other side, when you should talk with your God, you are busy talking to that neighbor.
Well, how you use your time is all up to you. However, do not consume your time on tech alone. Ensure that you got time to balance the equation.
