Dicernment, Discipline, and Discipleship (Guard Your Heart)
January 29, 2017
There’s no doubt: Christians are torn. Either we abandon a technology we can’t live without, and become so isolated from culture as to have no impact at all, or risk exposure to violence and sexual images while trying to engage the world we live in. Here is some guidance from 2 Corinthians 6.

Like everyone else, Christians are drowning in a sea of moral impurity. Peer pressure makes young people text all day long. Social media is replacing face-to-face communication. Our addiction to technology and the rapid breakdown in morality go hand in hand. Yet the grace of God gives us a way out of this mess.

While some issues in life may lie in gray areas, others are black and white. One such issue is found in 1 John 2: “If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.” For believers, loving God and the world at the same time is impossible. Let’s look at the great divide we all face as the media and the internet assault us with their calls to impurity.

Imagine yourself in a boat that’s safe and dry. Across the pond another boat is leaking and sinking. You may think you’re OK. But in terms of moral temptation, we’re all in the same boat. All of us as humans are prone to moral sins, and the media makes such sinning easy. Let’s explode some myths about who’s vulnerable to the power of the internet.

It’s been said that America will fall, not by the guns of its enemies, but by the moral rot of its citizens. The media is one reason why. The more “online” we become, the more exposed we are to forces determined to addict us to moral perversity. The danger is very real and the evidence is everywhere. Here is a call to engage people who use the internet and other media to enslave us.

In a dark world, believers in Jesus have within them the light of God. Their challenge and obligation is to illuminate the darkness around them so that others may come to that light which has transformed their lives.

When you’re lost in the dark, what you need is a source of light. It was Jesus who proclaimed, “I am the light of the world.” At Christmas, we remember that Light and rejoice in the salvation He makes possible for all who believe and receive Him.

When light comes, the darkness scatters. We may think darkness covers our sins, but in the light of God, nothing can be hidden. When Jesus came, light blazed into a darkened culture, and truth began to triumph over lies. That’s why many hate the Christ of Christmas. Getting close to Him exposes our darkness, and some people would rather keep their darkness. Let’s come clean before God and allow Him to reign supreme.

Christmas is far more than gift giving, far more than the story of a baby born in a manger. It’s really a celebration of God’s intervention in human history. To a world lost in darkness, the Bible tells us that a great light was seen, a light personified by the Lord Jesus Christ. He bought our redemption, only possible because Jesus came to this earth to live and then die as a sacrifice for our sins.

Jesus was not content to limit his preaching to the synagogues of His day. While on his way to meet with a man whose daughter had died, a woman in the crowd reached out to touch His garment, thinking that she would be healed of a twelve-year disease. And in this brief encounter in Mark chapter five, we get a glimpse into the heart of Jesus - a heart of compassion.

Early in the ministry of Jesus, He became known as a healer. Large crowds followed him wherever He went, hoping to be cured of their many ailments. His heart was moved, as He saw them as sheep without a shepherd, harassed and helpless. How do we as believers view the great needs around us? Do we share the heart of our Savior? Let’s look into the motivation of Jesus when He saw human need, and examine our own hearts in the process.
