Faith for Exiles 

”The idea of digital colonization may seem extreme, but here is the point: screens inform and connect, but they also distract and entertain. Through screen’s ubiquitous presence, Babylon’s pride, power, prestige, and pleasure colonize our hearts and minds. Pop culture is a reality filter. Websites, apps, movies, TV, video games, music, social media, YouTube channels and so on increasingly provide the grid against which we test what is true and what is real… Screens demand our attention. Screens disciple.” – Faith for Exiles p24-25 

Reflection:  

The above quote gives a pretty explicit picture of how digital culture can overtake our lives. Do you see elements of this happening in your own life? You may like to write down some ways you could reduce the influence of digital culture in your life. Spend some time praying about this.
