Have you tried to read a book lately?  As in truly sit down and read a book?  If you haven’t, you’ll probably find you can’t do it anymore.  Why?  Because your brain has been so programmed by YouTube, social media, internet and more that it is actually getting rewired.

Concentration is almost impossible as we’re being trained to have content short and fast.  Try to read a book and it doesn’t go fast enough anymore.  The brain is getting rewired.

Have you seen comments lately on any social media even from Christians?  Even in Christian posts people get argumentative, insulting, and saying things that just are not kind.

Have you heard any music or news lately regarding the president?  In your country or elsewhere?  Somehow it’s Ok these days to say Let’s Go Brandon or to write a song mocking a leader or leaders.  And even the Christians jump into this.

Have you seen parents on cell phones instead of paying attention to their children?  Gone are the thousands of looks and smiles a child gets to help them grow healthy emotionally.  Children don’t even try to say, “look at me” mom as they achieve their latest accomplishment because they know mom is looking at her phone and doesn’t want interrupted.  Dad too.

We’re getting trained.  Our brains rewired.  And we’re becoming a humanity that is becoming less and less humane.

What we’re becoming is zombies.  Programmed, distracted, shallow zombies.  Reading the Bible is hard.  Praying even harder.

Let’s break the back of this.
