Biggest Challenge

Dear Victorious,

What is the biggest challenge that Christians face in our modern day society --- that Christians in another time wouldn't have faced?

Earl C. - Dallas, TX

Dear Earl,

Oh that's an easy one for me. The greatest challenge is to quiet the noise ... which is exacerbated, proliferated and at times even controlled by the technology. It is impossible to seek Him first or even to hear God speaking when our minds are on something else. And technology has created a near constant battle for our minds. TV, radio, Internet, blackberry, iPhone, iPod, and other forms of intrusive technology want to be on all the time - always consuming our attention.

The greatest challenge for Christians today is to quiet the noise of life so that we can really be still and know that He is God.
