THE FIRST COMMANDMENT

Intro.png

I, the Lord,
am your God.
You shall not have any other gods besides me.

In the ancient times, people worshiped many gods. However, the Almighty has clearly stated, “I am” and commanded His people to worship Him alone.

 

The phrase “besides me” means not just in God’s presence but also that nothing else can qualify as a god in our lives. 

As Christians, we are “set apart” to live according to God’s ways. Our tendencies may lead us to prioritize other things, but more than anything we are called to worship God alone. 

Do I love God with
all my heart and soul,
with my everything?

We have only one God, and social media is not it;
thou shalt not hail the virtual as real, nor let it control you.

Am I really thankful for the gift of these new and wonderful inventions?

It is the distortion of reality and the impact on every individual perception caused by social media. It creates a hyper-reality that often pushes the young ones to compare themselves with curated online personas, which then leads to feelings of self-insufficiency and envy.

 

The virtual life portrayed on social media is often "just the ideals" which can distort their perception of reality, making them feel isolated or dissatisfied with their own lives.

 

The virtual identity may lead the youth to present a fantasy version of themselves online, striving to be who they want to be rather than who they truly are. 

Creating a safe and non-judgmental space for them to express their feelings and concerns can have a positive impact on their mental health.

 

A media campaign focused on raising awareness about mental health can help reduce stigma and encourage more open conversations about this important topic.
