Redeeming the Scroll: Turning Your Phone into a Tool for God's Glory

 One of the most damaging things to your relationship with God might just be in your hand: that glowing screen you’re glued to day and night. Before you even say “Amen” in the morning, you’ve already scrolled, swiped, or double-tapped. And then we wonder why we feel distant from the Lord.

The issue is deeper than distraction. It's idolatry.

"Thou shalt have no other gods before me." (Exodus 20:3, KJV)

We often condemn what we consider obvious sins, but how often do we examine the quiet idols of our modern lives? The phone becomes a replacement for prayer, for Scripture, for communion with God.

But conviction isn’t the end. There’s redemption.

When I realized how much time I was wasting on my phone, I turned to God. I needed help. I turned to a community for wisdom, and most importantly, I turned to the Word.

"Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God." (1 Corinthians 10:31, KJV)

Your phone doesn’t need to be thrown away. It needs to be redeemed.

We often think the solution is to delete the apps, ditch the phone, disappear for a while. And while that may bring temporary relief, the heart issue remains unless it is addressed.

Instead of using your phone to consume everything trending, what if you used it to consume truth?

Discipline Your Digital Diet

Your spiritual diet isn’t just what you read in your Bible. It’s what you watch, what you hear, what you scroll past, and what you entertain. The Instagram models, the viral distractions, the content that stirs lust or anger or pride all of that shapes you.

"Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth." (Colossians 3:2, KJV)

"Abstain from all appearance of evil." (1 Thessalonians 5:22, KJV)

If the apps are stealing your peace, filter them. If the content is pulling you into temptation, unfollow it. And if you feel addicted, don’t just fast from it repent, renew your mind, and replace the old content with things that edify.

Follow godly creators. Subscribe to sermons. Fill your feed with Scripture. And most of all, prioritize time in the presence of God off the screen.

"I will set no wicked thing before mine eyes." (Psalm 101:3, KJV)

You were not made to fit in with the scrolling crowd. You were made to glorify God.

Call to Repentance

If you feel convicted about how you’ve used your phone, don’t just feel bad turn to God. Ask Him to purify your habits, your mind, and your heart. He is faithful to forgive and empower.

"Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me." (Psalm 51:10, KJV)

"Be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind." (Romans 12:2, KJV)

The Gospel Message

All have sinned.

"For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God." (Romans 3:23, KJV)

Sin brings death.

"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." (Romans 6:23, KJV)

Jesus paid the price.

"But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us." (Romans 5:8, KJV)

Confess and believe.

"That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved." (Romans 10:9, KJV)

Conclusion

You don’t need to abandon your phone. You need to surrender your habits. Your screen time can reflect your sanctification. Let it point you to Jesus, not away from Him. May everything you do even how you scroll bring glory to God.

"Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer." (Psalm 19:14, KJV)

💰 Digital Chains, Global Power & the Coming Beast System

The Prophetic Implications of AI, Blockchain, and the World Financial Reset 📖 "And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark... And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark…” — Revelation 13:16–17 (KJV) A global transformation is underway—an economic, political, and technological realignment happening in plain sight. While the world debates left vs. right, East vs. West, and nation vs. nation, Scripture reveals that a singular world system is forming . Its aim? Absolute control of humanity. And the foundation of this control will be economic. The financial system that undergirds the current world order is being dismantled—and what rises in its place aligns with the prophesied Beast system foretold in Revelation 13. 🔁 From Gold Standard to Global Blockchain: The Setup The U.S. economic shift unfolded in the shadow of Nixon’s 1971 removal of the dollar from the gold standard. That moment began the unmooring of global ...

From Fear to Freedom: How Trusting God Leads to Abundant Life

Introduction: Abundance Through Dependence   In a culture that exalts independence and self-reliance, the idea of finding life through dependence on God is foreign—even offensive. But in the Kingdom of God, the way up is down, the way to victory is surrender, and the way to life is death to self.   Jesus said:      “I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”     ( John 10:10, KJV )   Yet this abundant life is not achieved by striving or control. It is experienced by learning to live in Him, through Him, and with Him—moment by moment, especially when life gets hard. Tough Times as Training Grounds for Intimacy   Our natural instinct is to avoid discomfort. But Scripture teaches us that trials are often the very means by which we grow in intimacy with God:      “It is good for me that I have been afflicted;     that I might learn thy statutes.”     ( Psalm 119:71, KJV )   Difficult seasons sharpen our spiritual senses. When life i...
