Today’s
Thought “Fool’s Gold” G. Ward
But avoid foolish controversies, genealogies, dissensions,
and quarrels about the law, for they are unprofitable and worthless.
Each of us has become a journalist of
sorts; social networking allows this, revealing politics, biases and
entertainment sources. It’s also become the chalkboard in disquieting personal
offense given by other postings (as if compassion is the long-suit of most).
Moreover, these portrayals (in the way of posts, screenshots, etc.) only allow
moments of euphoric proportion to be visualized (i.e. “Say Cheese!”), then a
return to mundane thereafter. Our vain imaginations (engrained in selfish
desire – cf. 2 Ti.3:1-5)) view these great photo opts, mesmerized with insistence
to soon endeavor the same. The quest for love, acceptance and wealth obscures
gratefulness for perspectives in simplicity. Had Ted Bundy (American serial
killer, rapist, etc.) lived, escaping all the heinous crime committed, perhaps
he would have been involved in social networking with appealing photos to
eventually win many unto early deaths? There are numerous family photos of the
Bundy’s whereby many viewers wanted to be just like them.
When Holy God through Christ is King,
His redemption is paramount to any wise saying and visual – Share that.
