Timeless Standard
See to it that no one takes you captive by philosophy and empty deceit, according to human tradition, according to the elemental spirits of the world, and not according to Christ.
Colossians 2:8
Social media have conquered our lifestyle. A recent survey reported that more than 70 percent of all adults in the U.S. are regular users of social network sites. Millions have become social media addicts. More than a third admit that checking social media sites is the first thing they do each morning! And more than half of all teens in the U.S. admit to being addicted to their smart phone.
Social media has become more powerful in shaping beliefs and influencing thoughts. The main reason for social media is so popular is because many are curious to know what other people think, they want to be popular and stay in tune with the latest trends of our time. To stay informed about the latest rumors and gossip. Social media has become the tradition for many and it has also become the platform of new belief and new standard. Whatever is said in this platform is portrayed as the truth.
We have to be careful on what we believe and what is our base for our belief. With so much information and news around us, we should not be caught in it and get distracted away from the ultimate truth which is the word of God.
The word of God is the timeless standards. It is the foundation of life, for every generation, for every person. But, some had shifted their foundation away from the word of God onto other things. They weren’t focused on His Word, but on human customs and traditions. Traditions followed in social media, traditions passed on by the ancestors.
Remember, it is easy to get caught up in social media or popular opinions. Don’t let this happen to you! Make sure that you focus on God’s timeless Word. Make it your standard! Always! When you believe and carry the word of God, it will carry you always when you can’t walk.
