Creating our own culture as followers of Christ is a call to live distinctively in a world that often pulls us in different directions. God has always intended for His people to be a light in the darkness, to stand out in how we live and relate to others. This means making intentional choices that reflect our commitment to Him. In today's fast-paced, technology-driven society, it can be easy to get caught up in distractions that pull us away from genuine connection with God and with each other. However, God has equipped us with the power to overcome these challenges.
One practical step is to consciously decide to disconnect from our devices. By choosing to leave our phones behind, we open ourselves up to deeper, more meaningful interactions with those around us. This might mean going to a quiet place, like the mountains, to spend uninterrupted time with the Lord. Bringing a physical Bible instead of relying on digital versions can help us focus on God's Word without the constant interruptions of notifications. These small, intentional actions can help us cultivate a culture that prioritizes real relationships and spiritual growth.
