Electronic Media Immersion: Some Suggestions

Read parts one and two of this series here: I and II.

Albert Mohler and John Mark Reynolds both have excellent suggestions on how to get our electronic media habits under control. Mohler’s piece is especially pertinent to parents.  I recommend you read and devour both in their entirety. Read them here and here, respectively.

Like I mentioned a few days ago, this isn’t the beginning of the end of civilization.  All we need is a little wisdom and moderation. We just have to start thinking about what our minds and souls imbibe, that’s all.

But though this issue doesn’t mean the end of the world, it is very important. Afterall, the ones who are most negatively affected by the plugged in life–teenagers–are tomorrow’s leaders, teachers, and church pastors. We can’t afford continued neglect.

I will say that I struggle with this, especially since starting this blog. It has become quite a demanding mistress. I will need to develop more discipline if I am to avoid some of the pitfalls I noted in my last post. I struggle particularly with implementing Reynolds’ third suggestion. I’m constantly checking my blog, email, and stumbleupon page.
