I am noticing something on social media that is concerning to me among Christians. Every time social media puts something out there people jump on the bandwagon.

From Ukrainian strong frames around their profile pictures to commenting on memes, tweets or comments made by people they have never met. Then there is fun things Iike ice bucket challenges or charicatures.

None of it is wrong, but my concern is, people follow so quickly without even given much thought to it. Hear me out for just one minute. If we thought back through all the trends we followed in just the past six weeks of this new year we would be shocked.

Media, whether mainstream or social is leading us and we are following without much thought. Some of it is for fun, but most of it is inciting a reaction, a very quick reaction; an opinion, a very strong opinion about so many things.

What it is revealing to me, is what people are following. Jesus said, “Follow Me!” He also said, “If you want to be my disciple leave it behind and follow Me.” The name Christian means Christ follower, not social media or mainstream media or political party or denominational follower.

I am hearing in the spirit, where are the Joshua 5 people. “As Joshua was sizing up the city of Jericho, a man appeared nearby with a drawn sword. Joshua strode over to him and demanded, Are you friend or foe? I am the Commander-in-Chief of the Lord’s army,” he replied. Joshua fell to the ground before him and worshiped him and said, Give me your commands. Take off your shoes, the Commander told him, for this is holy ground.” And Joshua did.” Where are those who are taking off their shoes instead of always needing to share their two cents about the latest trend? We are at the door, and no shoes are required. Www.apostolicresourcecenter.org
