Sharpened Arrows

August 18,2024


Are We Easier Targets?


Todays technology gives Satan easier access to our homes, family, friends and us. We are exposed to every view, every doubt, every idea in the world. With social media apps we get exposed to temptations that we normally wouldn't go looking for, but they can come across when just scrolling through our cell phones, or computers. I believe Satan is just as he was in the beginning. He can tempt us with gain knowledge like he did with Eve. False doctrines are even easier to disseminate with social ideas. God's word can become convoluted with what feels good, feels right just as in the garden of Eden. As with King David, someone can catch our eye while bathing on the rooftop.


Satan has sharpened his arrows with social media, pictures sent in seconds to our homes, our life. Our families, children are exposed to the thoughts of the world. There is also good information online like helping us keep up with family. We just have to be on guard for those arrows, we can't let our shields down because they are directed right at our weaknesses. Maybe feeling lonely, and it opens to door to wrong companionship, or too early companionship.


In a way we are building another Tower of Babylon. Language barriers are being removed. We start worshipping our technology.


Just random thoughts Maybe followup with scripture references.
