SPF 280: Overwhelmed & Anxious by Too Much Input
Description
The internet has made so many things better. But along with our ability to constantly access information, we can hit a point of input overload, leading to overwhelm and even a dullness of hearing. How can we prove faithful with the availability of constant input via the world wide web? Today I am sharing three ways to grow in our discernment when it comes to all the input from the internet.
Too Much Input Can...
1. Make it difficult to discern everything
2. Desensitized and distract
3. Drive us toward overwhelm and anxiety
How to Grow in Discernment:
- Always be going to the ultimate authority on all matters - God's Word in the Bible.
- Hebrews 5:11-14
- Cut through the input by understanding what the Lord's will is
- Ephesians 5:6-17
"The best thing we can do is not just throttle the amount of input from the internet we consume each day, but to make sure we are getting input from the source of all truth and goodness: God's Word."
