It is National Day of Unplugging. How will you celebrate?

National-Day-of-Unplugging-Second-Friday-in-March

The second Friday in March is National Day of Unplugging.  This holiday consists of a 24 hour period from sundown to sundown, to unplug, unwind, relax and do things other than using today’s technology, electronics, and social media.

HOW TO OBSERVE

Take a break from technology and use #NationalDayOfUnplugging to post on social media the day before to spread the word.

So, why is this day important?
Well, let’s be honest. Many of us deal with technology addiction.
https://www.desiringgod.org/ has a great article that talks about smartphone addiction and our spiritual ADD. Click HERE to read the entire article.

In this article, Tony Reinke, Senior writer for desiringGod.org asked you to finish this sentence: As I evaluate my life right now, my use of social media [Facebook, Twitter, Instagram] is . . .

(A) . . . under control, limited, and healthy.

(B) . . . not controlled or restricted, but also not having a negative influence on my life.

(C) . . . uncontrolled and unhealthy. I check my social networks compulsively throughout the day, and it’s probably not good for me.

What is your answer?

Tony Reinke offered five concerns and then followed with five practical responses.

Concern 1: Our Spiritual ADD
Concern 2: Losing Our Worldview
Concern 3: Losing Our Filters
Concern 4: Posturing an Image
Concern 5: Living Disembodied

Solution 1: Study the Disconnected
Solution 2: Fast from Your Phone
Solution 3: Write a Letter by Hand
Solution 4: Use Filters
Solution 5: Acknowledge God in Technology

For our Morning Thing Fave 5 today, we shared our 5 favorite ways to UNPLUG. Try one today for yourself!

New Years Resolutions!

497946384
With New Years being right around the corner, today on the Morning Thing, we shared with you some resolutions to get your New Years started right!

The Morning Thing Co-Hosts (and Lilly) shared their New Years Resolutions for the Morning Thing Fave Five today! Check them out below!
Trevor Moore New Years Resolution
Daria Swisher New Years Resolution
Marcy Rinehart New Years Resolution
Eddie Dilts New Years Resolution
Lilly Buckley New Years Resolution

To start off, we talked about some of the New Years resolutions that Christians should try to take on for this next year!

Many Christians make New Year’s resolutions to pray more, to read the Bible every day, and to attend church more regularly. These are fantastic goals. However, these New Year’s resolutions fail just as often as the non-spiritual resolutions, because there is no power in a New Year’s resolution. Resolving to start or stop doing a certain activity has no value unless you have the proper motivation for stopping or starting that activity. For example, why do you want to read the Bible every day? Is it to honor God and grow spiritually, or is it because you have just heard that it is a good thing to do? Why do you want to lose weight? Is it to honor God with your body, or is it for vanity, to honor yourself?

Philippians 4:13 tells us, “I can do everything through Him who gives me strength.” John 15:5 declares, “I am the vine; you are the branches. If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.” If God is the center of your New Year’s resolution, it has chance for success, depending on your commitment to it. If it is God’s will for something to be fulfilled, He will enable you to fulfill it. If a resolution is not God honoring and/or is not in agreement in God’s Word, we will not receive God’s help in fulfilling the resolution.

So, what sort of New Year’s resolution should a Christian make? Here are some suggestions:
(1) pray to the Lord for wisdom (James 1:5) in regards to what resolutions, if any, He would have you make
(2) pray for wisdom as to how to fulfill the goals God gives you
(3) rely on God’s strength to help you
(4) find an accountability partner who will help you and encourage you
(5) don’t become discouraged with occasional failures; instead, allow them to motivate you further
(6) don’t become proud or vain, but give God the glory. Psalm 37:5-6 says, “Commit your way to the LORD; trust in him and he will do this: He will make your righteousness shine like the dawn, the justice of your cause like the noonday sun.”

Thanks for listening!
Have a wonderful New Years!
– Your WNZR Family
