The internet intertwines humanity (for better or for worse)

Daily writing prompt
The most important invention in your lifetime is…

The internet gives people instant access to more information (and misinformation) than they have ever been able to access in human history. For better or for worse, the internet accumulates all that the Bible calls “the tree of the knowledge of good and evil” at a person’s fingertips. A human lifetime wouldn’t be long enough to list all the ways that the internet is being used for evil and for good.

I do everything I can to avoid and wholeheartedly reject online confusion, hatred, deception, bullying, lies, rebellion, meaningless distraction, and all other destructive forms of information and temptation. I refuse to be seduced, possessed, and controlled by the evil on the internet.

I chose to go online to search for, represent, and proclaim “the tree of life.” Jesus said: “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” I have found many things online that help me love Jesus more. My google records would show you the pages where I have discovered hope, peace, faith, and encouragement that lead to life in and through Christ. As I search, I’m quick to avoid the traps of evil and deception that abound.

I also love to proclaim the reality and presence of the risen Jesus. The internet is a powerful platform for doing that. It’s one way I “shout it from the housetops” that Jesus is real, alive, present, and working to set people free in the world today. Thank you for reading my blog. Also, look me up on xtwitter @CSteveSimms, on my Facebook page, and on my “Steve Simms” amazon author page.

Search for and proclaim light, not darkness.

About Steve Simms

I like to look and think outside the box. In college I encountered Jesus Christ and I have been passionate about trying to get to know Him better ever since. My wife and I long to see the power and passion of the first Christ-followers come to life in our time. I have written a book about our experiences in non-traditional church, called, "Beyond Church: An Invitation To Experience The Lost Word Of The Bible--Ekklesia." If you need encouragement, search for: Elephants Encouraging The Room and/or check out my Amazon author page. Thank you!
