Ever wonder what the writers of Proverbs would say about our modern tech habits? They might love the punchy wisdom you find on X or Threads, but they’d definitely urge us to be careful about what grabs and holds our attention. Proverbs reminds us that self-control is like a city’s wall—a crucial defense for our inner lives. When we let endless scrolling or constant notifications break down that wall, we invite distraction and chaos right in.
So, how do we actually use discernment and insight to cut through the noise and make wise choices online? Proverbs 16:21 and 16:23 praise the importance of a discerning mind—a quality that’s more valuable than ever as our feeds and apps are designed to keep us clicking, not pausing to reflect. Sometimes, what seems helpful in the digital world turns out to drain our energy, distract us from our purpose, or even harm our hearts. Are there any apps or habits you need to delete for your own well-being?
This is what we’re digging into at Trinity UMC’s sermon series, What the Tech: The Promise and Perils of Our Digital Age. Join us as we blend ancient wisdom with the challenges and opportunities of today’s technology—and discover practical ways to build a healthier, more meaningful relationship with your digital world. Can’t wait to see you there! Invite your friends!
