I often find myself obsessing over the content I create — not out of vanity, but because I love writing, and I love the Word of God. I pour my heart, energy, and focus into every post I share. The Holy Spirit inspires each message, yet I’ve noticed something disheartening: there’s a lack of genuine engagement.
It’s not that my work is hidden or buried by the algorithm — my content gets seen. But the lack of interest in the Word of God itself breaks my heart.
It seems so easy to “like” something that momentarily resonates, yet never let it call the flesh to action. How have we become so dulled — content to consume the Word as a pleasant thought instead of allowing it to pierce our hearts and transform our lives?
This is our strength.
Our daily bread.
Our sword in battle.
Our equipment for enduring this world.
And yet… so few seem truly interested.
The Shallowness of Modern Faith
Our Lord loves us so deeply that He’s given us divine wisdom and knowledge to navigate this dark world. But He also calls us to a life of repentance and obedience.
How can we live according to His Word if we only take it at a glance?
How can we claim to follow Him if our engagement with His truth ends after a Sunday service — which, by the way, isn’t even the biblical Sabbath.
Many treat church as a social outlet, something to check off or to feel a sense of belonging. But what about those who are alone with God — those who spend their time buried in His Word rather than the world’s noise?
The walk of a true believer is often lonely, not because of poor social skills, but because they’ve set themselves apart. They don’t seek validation from the world or applause from others. Their reward isn’t found in attention — it’s found in obedience.
The Real Problem
Many Christians today are content to consume content about God without actually engaging with His Word. They scroll, like, and move on — mistaking exposure for intimacy.
The Danger
This creates a shallow faith — one filled with head knowledge but empty of heart transformation. A faith that knows the verses but doesn’t live them.
The Solution
It’s time to move from passive inspiration to active engagement.
-
Meditate on Scripture.
-
Apply the truth you read.
-
Walk in obedience, even when it’s uncomfortable.
-
Join in Spirit-led community.
-
Learn through tools that draw you closer to God’s ways — like the free course Walking in His Ways: Foundations in the Ten Commandments.
So before you scroll past a post and tap a quick 👍 because the message “was good,” pause and reflect. Ask:
“Lord, how can I apply this to my life today?”
Always remember — this world is temporary, but the Kingdom of God is forever.
Choose wisely. Serve the right Master.
Jesus did not die for us to produce passive approval — He died to bring forth living transformation.
