Christians in a Changing World

“As Christians today we realize that we are living in hard times. It is hard to keep to the right path; temptations are legion. And as we look around, it is hard to see a great culture breaking down around us, even though, as we have seen, it is not really based on Christian principles, but on those of the Enlightenment."

Today I think there is one influence among temptations in teenagers and young kids.  Social Media is that influence.  Smart Phones have forever changed the world we live in, both for the good and the bad.  Everything that happens nowdays gets caught in an image or video on a spectators smart phone.    Everyone has them, they have came to be addictions to some teens recently.  I think it is ridiculous, you can go sit at a restaurant with your family and look around at other families and teens are on their phones not even talking to their parents or paying attention to them.  If you can't sit and have a meal with your family without being on you cell phone I think it is sad.  Family time is nothing that should be taken for granted!  

Most alarming temptations today all surround a cell phone.  Parties, drug deals, nudes, sex it all starts with a txt message, snapchat, DM on Twitter, or something of that sort.  It is sad to see these little Apple devices take over teens lives but I guess it is just the world we live in now.  I don't for see anything stoping the popularity in social media.  It is just getting more popular.  I am at a loss of words for solutions......
