THE GOSPEL FOR EVERY DAY LIFE

Is my Algorithm Tempting Me to Sin? Part II

Perhaps it is seething anger that rests in our hearts, aimed towards an individual or cause to which we have no personal connection. Perhaps we struggle with secret addiction, or we simply spend too much time engrossed with our device. Perhaps we are allowing ourselves to wallow in anxiety about the state of the world, inviting an onslaught of bad news to take precedence in our thoughts. Becoming convicted to change our response about these things is the first step. This is ultimately the work of the Holy Spirit in our hearts, shining a light on the secret places within ourselves where we have allowed sin to take root.

Is My Algorithm Tempting Me to Sin? Part I

Linnea Kellar

Designs for social media algorithms were initially introduced in 2009. It was at this point that media began to appear to users based on preference and engagement, not chronological order. The benefit of this is that we receive content more suited to our tastes. However, because our social media is now designed ultimately to feed us what we want, there are many ways in which our weaknesses can be exploited. Matthew 26:41 tells us to, “Watch and pray that you may not enter into temptation. The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” The first step for believers in their battle for temptation is to be vigilant, identify personal weaknesses, and anticipate how these areas may affect us. The following list is not exhaustive by any means. However, knowing these key areas on how we can be tempted in our use of technology sharpens our awareness of “sin crouching at the door” (Genesis 4:7).

Moderskap och Faderns villkorslösa kärlek

Emilie Rosman

Att få uppleva moderskärlek innebär alltså att få ta del av Faderns villkorslösa och orubbliga kärlek till sina egna barn. När vi lider för att våra barn far illa eller viker av från rättfärdighetens väg, får vi uppleva något av Faderns hjärta för sina barn.

Not Ours to Carry: the burden of children’s salvation

Hannah Norén

A parent’s identity is not to be a savior but rather to be utilized as a tool in the Savior’s hand to help our children along the way. We can lovingly provide a good foundation for the work that God alone is powerful enough to complete. This is good news indeed for we, as imperfect parents, are not equipped to be a spiritual heart transplant specialist. Only God alone is capable in providing a Savior for mankind through his son, Jesus Christ.

Motherhood and the Unconditional Love of God

Emilie Rosman

Experiencing a mother’s love is a sharing in the Father’s unconditional, unwavering love for his own children. When we suffer deeply as our children experience pain or are roaming from the path of righteousness, we are sharing in the Father’s heart for his children.

Gud troystar okkum, so vit kunnu troysta onnur

Arni Zachariassen

Tá ið vit sum Guds børn uppliva trongdir og líðing, troystar Gud okkum. Men hendan troyst er ikki okkara at bøla yvir. Jesus segði, at úr lívinum hjá honum ella henni, sum trýr á hann, skulu renna streymar av livandi vatni (Jóhannes 7:38). Vit líða og verða troysta, so vit kunnu troysta onnur, sum líða, við júst somu troyst, sum vit vórðu troystað við: Guds troyst.

Vad man borde (och inte borde) säga till singlar

Jemima Davis

Man vill så gärna uppmuntra sina ensamstående vänner och ge dem hopp, men det är lätt att säga fel av misstag. Livet som singel kan se väldigt annorlunda ut jämfört med livet som gift – speciellt om man har barn – men vi är en familj i Kristus och vill gärna uppmuntra våra syskon. Hur kan vi se till att alla Guds barn känner sig älskade, sedda och stöttade?
