The point is this: There are stupid people easily accessible with a flick of your finger and if you listen to them too much you will become like them–“the companion of fools will suffer harm” (Proverbs 13:20). Nor should we say, “Well there are pros and cons.” and go right on using phones unwisely. Which is an aim not at odds with commending the upside. But my aim here is to mitigate the downside. The upside of every one of these posts need attention. Undoubtedly it is far easier to sit among the Christian sages, too! That point needs attention. It is far easier to plop down in the sinner’s counsel given our smart-phones. But the peculiar situation we now face is the scoffers have taken up residence in our pocket. And we’ve always been warned about not sitting in their seats less we become like them (Psalm 1:1). On the flipside we have “Do not be deceived: Bad company ruins good morals” (1 Corinthians 15:33).Ĭalvin cut it clean when he said, “ evil communications have more effect than we might suppose, in polluting our minds and corrupting our morals.” On the upside we have, “He who walks with the wise becomes wise” (Proverbs 13:20). Jesus was a friend of sinners.”īut Scripture says our context matters.
Young boys play this myth like a well-tuned fiddle, “I’m a Christian, mom. It is this myth that leads parents into letting their 16-year old daughters go on unsupervised Spring break beach trips. This myth says that our surroundings have no effect on us. One of the distortions that get us all tangled up is the context-neutral myth.
