Technology gives us access to everything! Whether you have a question, want to update your friends, want food, or need a ride, the Internet has all the answers. But if we are not careful, all that easy access can ultimately lead to distraction and/or destruction without the correct filter.

Paul’s instruction in Colossians 3 shows us how we should begin to filter the way we look at the things on the Internet through Scripture and biblical worldview.

• What does Paul mean by “things above”?

As believers, it’s essential to focus on God and go to Him for everything we need. When we begin to lose focus on Jesus, we allow room for the Enemy to take hold of us and for sin to begin to rule over our lives rather than allowing the Word to guide us.
