629 Days Saved - A Walk with Christ 

-The golden phone? -

Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase. Daniel 12:4

Albert Einstein once wrote this, “I fear the day that technology will surpass our human interaction, the world will have a generation of idiots.” Albert Einstein clearly knew this time would come. The book of revelation predicts this time as well. This time is now here. We treat our phones as if they are an extension of our brains. They are like the golden calf. Why do we idolize our phones over human interaction? 

With the increase in technology we have also seen an increase in mental illness. The two seem to go together! In a study by Pitts school of medicine, it was found that spending extended periods of time on social media is associated with depression in young adults, compared to people who checked social media less frequently. Frequent users were 2.7 times more likely to develop depression. 

The Challenge: 

So what do we do? The world is speeding us up to levels we are not made for. Create some rules for yourself! 

1. Leave your phone at home one day a week. 
2. Take a week purge of all technology.  
3. Make yourself take a two hour break each day to have have real interaction with people. 
4. Make a no phone policy during meals with your family.
