#902: Unplugged

Ever wake to the sound of a chainsaw ripping through wood?

It’s a powerful tool. But it can be dangerous. Like a chainsaw, the internet is a powerful tool, but it’s also dangerous if not used properly.

There’s a wealth of information available to us on the web. However, surfing the internet can become an addictive tidal wave.

Do you start and end your day online? Are you constantly checking your emails and texts and feeling the need to respond immediately?

If so, it might be time to try something radical and life-changing.

Unplug. Consider an internet fast. Go online only for work purposes for the next five days. Tell friends to call instead of emailing or texting. Stay off social media.

Devote the time you would normally spend online to Bible study and prayer. You’ll be shocked at how many of your online activities are unnecessary.
