How do you manage screen time for yourself?

View all responses

I’m not on screens to be influenced by our culture of confusion and chaos. My purpose is to share the joy and peace that overflow from within me.

My goal is to be a missionary of hope not a mission field subject to our society of self-inflicted misery. I want to be an influencer for good and to avoid being influenced by all the anger and accusation that is seething in our modern-day screens.

Because of that I am a content creator and rarely a content consumer. My computer and phone are platforms that I use to show and tell the amazing things that the risen Jesus has done and is daily doing in my heart and life.

Here’s an example. I wrote and posted this when I woke up this morning:

The risen Jesus wants to reset Christianity to His Spirit. When Christianity shifted from being Spirit-led to being controlled by a pulpit-head, its vibrant and life-consuming heart-connection with Christ as Head was curtailed by a religious system and structure that has been passed down through the centuries. It abandoned its “ear to hear what the Spirit is saying” and put its trust in tens of thousands of separate denominations and hundreds of thousands of independent churches scattered worldwide, each following its own leaders and traditions. Yet, in the midst of all this confusion and competition Christ is still speaking to and calling His sheep to follow and obey His Spirit instead of their favorite religious institution. He who has ears let him hear!

I also fill my screens with original positive statements and affirmations that give people hope. For a collection of 365 of my hope-filled sayings check out Elephants Inspiring the Room at this link.
