Too Busy For God? (TV & Social Media vs The Spiritual Disciplines)

So this is my advice from a few weeks ago, uh, more Bible, less television. And I'm not, you know, I'm not against television. Maybe I should be, maybe I'm going to change my position on that, but you can understand how things are just getting crazy.

More Bible, Less Television

So more Bible, less television. Let me add to that more prayer, less social media. Um, how much time does the average Christian, uh, spend in church, reading the Bible, praying, you know, just doing those basic, uh, spiritual disciplines.

I mean, I don't know. I mean, you can think about added up during the course of a week, how much time you spend, how much time does the average Christian spend, um, on their phone sorting through things and, uh, watching television and just taking in, uh, all of that stuff.

If you had to guess, if you were to pull honestly, all the professing evangelicals in the nation, which one do you think would be higher? I mean, just, it could be 10 to one, you know, I don't know. Imagine, imagine if we didn't have that would complicate things because now we're so dependent on the internet to pay our bills and for all sorts of different things.

Dependence on Technology and the Cost of Distraction

But imagine if all of a sudden we didn't have that instant internet access, if all of a sudden we didn't have television in our homes, maybe that's what it would take to bring a spiritual, uh, revival.

I don't know. If you knew that's what it would take, would you be willing to do it?
