This pictures a community worship location. On the floor are beautiful mosaics. Yet two caught my eye. One spoke of the Messiah coming and another of the Zodiac, a fashion symbol of the day. This group was caught between two worlds. One where they worshiped the Living God, and one where they worshipped being part of the “in the crowd”.
Jesus said you can’t serve two masters. You will love one and hate the other. You can’t have it both ways. This group, had in effect, created an idol in their heart (See Ezekiel 14:3).
If we are not careful, we can allow aspects of our culture to become the god we worship. Studies show as our social media usage increases, our ability to critically think decreases. In other words, our biblical filter can fail; thus letting sinful/destructive thoughts into our brains. In this case, we can let culture determine our choices instead of Jesus.
Don’t get caught between two worlds. Keep your shield of faith up no matter where you get your information! Days of deceit (false news) are increasing, but we can see through it by focusing on the Word of God, Jesus.
