In Proverbs 25:27-28 Solomon wisely warns,
____________ It is not good to eat much honey,
_________________ nor is it glorious to seek one’s own glory.
____________ A man without self-control
_________________ is like a city broken into and left without walls.
Ancient words, but wisdom captured within those words that continues to be relevant.
- There’s more online “honey” than I can wade through in a lifetime. Honey is good, but too much of it will make me sick.
- In the modern age of social media, it’s easier than ever to seek my own glory.
- The Internet gateway is by no means inherently sinful. But every time I pass through that gateway my self-control will be tested.
- If I let my guard down, the incredible tide of information and connectivity can quickly turn into a tsunami of deceit and destruction.
All of which begs the question: Am I responsibly wielding the Internet for sanctified joy and God’s glory or am I abusing it as I travel further and further down the pathway of irresponsibility and wastefulness?
