DESCRIPTION
------------------------------------------------------------------------

This sermon emphasizes the potential dangers of the internet as a
distraction from spending time with God, cautioning against allowing
social media and other online platforms to consume more time than
reading the Bible. It highlights the importance of keeping priorities in
check, ensuring that technology serves as a tool rather than a master,
and warns against the various ways the devil can use online distractions
to hinder one's effectiveness for God.

I'll tell you this, the internet is one of the greatest snares, if
you're not careful. I'm not talking about pornography, that's absolutely
evil. I'm talking about all the other information that we can go
searching, looking for and browsing and things like that.

These are for people who have plenty of time, nothing to do. I mean,
there's all these, I don't know what they call those sites, Facebook and
things like that. If you're spending more time with the Bible than with
Facebook, have it.

But if you find you're spending more time with Facebook than the Bible,
brother, you better seriously consider whether you're a born again
Christian or not. That's all I'm saying. I'm saying keep these things in
their proper place.

Keep them as servants, don't let them rule you. Everybody in the world
doesn't know what you're doing or what you had for breakfast or things
like that and the stupid things they write in all these blogs and
whatnot. A lot of, you know, the devil has got a lot of things by which
to sidetrack people from being effective for God.

And it's not always the same.
