[highlight]Lesson #08: SATAN’S TOOLBOX – “Media: The Internet” (October 22, 2014)[/highlight]
SUMMARY: Media is morally neutral, neither good nor bad. The Internet provides untold numbers of opportunities for good, but equally – if not more – possibilities for evil. This lesson focuses on two areas that God’s people need to understand about the internet: the issue of how we use social media, and the issue of pornography. Therefore, this lesson follows a three-point roadmap:
- The Focus for Christians (Col. 3:1-2)
- Facebook Use Done Right
- The Filth of Pornography
There are several invaluable resources below, especially regarding finding help for online addiction. Be sure to check out the resources.
