Some “through the bible” thoughts from 2 Timothy 4.
“For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, but having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own passions, and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander off into myths” (2 Timothy 4:3-4).
God knew about the algorithm a long time ago.
The more time I spend on social media and shopping online, the more the internet knows about me. It will quickly and efficiently begin to show me more of what I’ve read about and shopped for. A machine will become my teacher who suits my own passions, feeds my aspirations, and sells me things I never knew I needed. My news sources will reflect my bias. When I am repeatedly told what I want to hear, truth no longer matters.
God is not surprised by any of this. He simply charges his ministers to “preach the word” (2 Timothy 4:2). God’s word reveals that he is biased. It declares that he alone is God. There is no other. He alone can save. No one else can. He alone is all-powerful, holy, loving, righteous, all-knowing, and good. Yes, God is biased. But his word is also truth.
God is also biased because he loves us more than anything. We’re the apple of his eye, his treasured possession, and his dearly loved children. All that is not just what we want to hear. It is the truth.
Waite for it...
