Don't Lose Focus

From: New Life Daily Devotions - Steve Arterburn

Romans 16:17 "I urge you brothers, to watch out for those who create dissensions and obstacles, in opposition to the teaching that you learned; avoid them."

Has it ever been easier than now for a believer to become distracted and lose focus on God? Today’s culture of communication goes around the world in seconds through–the internet, TV, movies, DVD’s, video games, radio, faxes, email, cell phones, etc.?

Yahoo lists 17,000 sites devoted to religion and spirituality, compared with 12,000 about movies. And these figures are expanding exponentially. We’re only a mouse click away from countless links, Web pages, and chat rooms, that attempt to define God, recast Him into our own image, or explain Him away altogether.

With all this at your fingertips, it’s more important than ever to stay connected to and focused on the true God and His Son, Jesus Christ. Don’t allow yourself to be sidetracked by things that aren’t true. In other words, hold onto God’s Son for dear life! Even when the distractions of the world are tugging at your sleeve to let go.
