When Tools Became Thrones/This is > #3 installment of this new series:
‘Friends, technology was sold as a servant. Quietly, it became a ruler. Devices designed to assist now command attention, shape behavior, and mediate reality itself. Scripture warned that bondage does not always look like suffering at first.
“All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient… I will not be brought under the power of any.” (1 Corinthians 6:12, KJV). Power is the issue. What we carry in our pockets now determines what we see, how we think, whom we trust, and what we fear. That is not neutral.
Convenience as a Trojan Horse:
Convenience disarms discernment. When friction disappears, vigilance fades. Instant answers replace contemplation; endless feeds replace reflection. What feels helpful quietly re-trains the mind—shortening attention, flattening emotion, and rewarding compulsion.
Evil rarely demands allegiance. It invites dependence. Different people value convenience differently—and that is precisely how it works. For one, a device is productivity; for another, escape; for another, validation. The same tool, customized to each weakness, becomes a tailored snare.
The Body Pays What the Mind Ignores:
The human body was not designed for constant stimulation. Prolonged exposure to screens disrupts sleep rhythms, strains the eyes, tightens posture, and heightens stress hormones. Concerns about long-term, low-level radiation exposure continue to be studied and debated.
But Scripture already teaches a broader truth: creation thrives on rest, rhythm, and restraint. When convenience removes natural pauses, the body absorbs the cost. What is “undetectable” in the moment becomes undeniable over time.
Watching and Being Watched:
Our devices see and hear more than we admit. Cameras, microphones, sensors, and data trails are the price of participation. Whether for commerce, security, or analytics, the result is the same: privacy matters, and behavior becomes measurable, predictable, and influenceable.
Scripture cautions that nothing hidden remains unseen. The danger is not awareness—it is normalization. When being watched feels ordinary, self-governance weakens. Additionally, you don’t take precautions with your televisions, phones, refrigerators, stoves, and other appliances that expose your private spaces due to comfort, most have cameras which invites these unawares inside your family’s sanctuary!
The Sorrow of Separation:
Perhaps the most revealing sign of captivity is anxiety when the device is gone. Irritation. Emptiness.feeling as though all the balances in your life have been upset! A faint sadness. This is attachment rather than just a habit. What used to unite us now gives us comfort, and comfort subtly takes the place of community.
The Bible describes idols as things that cannot speak yet still command loyalty. Anything that draws the heart away from God while promising relief fits the pattern.
A Sanctuary Built on Attention:
Evil does not need temples of stone. Attention is its sanctuary. Time is its offering. When devices consume both, they shape allegiance. The goal is not outright wickedness; it is distraction from the eternal. “Set your affection on things above, not on things on the earth.” Affection, not access, is the battleground.
Reclaiming Dominion:
The answer is not rejection of technology, but restoration of rule. Tools must return to their place. Sabbath must return to your heart. The soul must return to its sanctuary of silence and meditation. What we cannot turn off, we do not control. Freedom begins when convenience no longer dictates conscience.
Author’s Note:
‘Friends, as I am always saying with anything I write, the purpose is for awareness. This essay was written to restore balance, not to stir panic. Technology is not inherently evil—but it is powerful, and power without discipline becomes dominant. Scripture consistently warns that bondage begins when good things exceed their proper bounds (Galatians 5:1).
I focused on patterns rather than accusations because the danger here is subtle. Devices do not threaten faith by open hostility; they erode it through constant interruption. They do not deny God; they crowd Him out. When attention is fragmented, devotion weakens. When rest disappears, discernment follows. It fractures common senses.
The health concerns discussed—low-level radiation exposure, sleep disruption, mental strain, stress—are observable realities many experience but dismiss because convenience feels indispensable. The Bible’s wisdom predates modern science; bodies need protection, rest, minds need stillness, and hearts need direction.
If this piece prompts you to examine your habits, it has done its work. Ask not only what your devices do for you, but what they are quietly taking. Tools should serve life, not replace it. The most dangerous sanctuary is one we carry everywhere and never question. The call is simple; regain dominion. What you rule will bless you. What rules will shape you.
God bless. Amen!
