  1. The Spiritual and the Technical Computer & Internet Safety

  2. Welcome…about me • Converted 26 years ago as a freshman at UNC Chapel Hill • Graduated 1991, BS in Math & CS • Worked around gaming for 18 years • Gadget head • Just to be clear…I’m a geek…not a nerd  • Relax…slides will be posted

  3. The Spiritual • “As no one is discharged in time of war, so wickedness will not release those who practice it.” Ecclesiastes 8:8 • Be honest with yourself… • Spiritual principle – if you allow sin & Satan to remain, even if it is “just every once in a while”, you are a slave to that sin (John 8:34) • Can’t expect to lead our families if we aren’t dealing with our sins!

  4. The Spiritual • “You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.’ But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.” Matthew 5:27-28 • Don’t think, “my spouse and I watch together…to spice things up” • "I made a covenant with my eyes not to look lustfully at a young woman.” Job 31:1

  5. The Spiritual • “I will set before my eyes no vile thing. The deeds of faithless men I hate; they will not cling to me.” Psalm 101:3 • Maybe you think, “I will look away during the ‘bad scenes’” • Not sexual/lustful, but violence or crime/murder • Receiving pay channels with this type of content • Ask yourself, “What am I bringing into my home?” (commercial with mom & mob boss) • What am I exposing my heart/soul/conscience to? (1 Timothy 4:2 “seared as with a hot iron”)

  6. The Spiritual • “You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the Lord your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me, but showing love to a thousand generations of those who love me and keep my commandments.” Exodus 20:5-6 (cfEzekiel 18:20) • Need to understand the generational impact of our decisions and sins! • We think it is not seen…that our kids don’t know…but they do! Kids know how to access your history! • Repent, get open, and get help…Rick Fuller leads a purity group for men • If you know it is happening…turn them in!

  7. The Spiritual • “Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.” Proverbs 22:6 • All of the tech in the world won’t train our kids…we must! • Kids figure technology out much quicker than we do • Takes training, meaning continual teaching and monitoring of progress

  8. The Spiritual • Much easier to just be lazy • Keeps the kid(s) busy and out of our hair • They don’t get in any “trouble” when they are using the devices…really? • What are we teaching them? • I get my entertainment & joy from this little box • Should be from loving relationships • Escape & selfish retreat (lunch out) • Concern for everyone, families, single and stay at home moms, etc. • Satan wants your kids!

  9. The Spiritual • What really happens…when they spend too much time connected? • Play in virtual worlds completely unsupervised and unfiltered • Learning without the benefit of a parent to interpret and help teach values • Some are playing online…interacting with…who knows • Satan does not sleep while we are plugged into “The Matrix”!

  10. The Spiritual • What are the results? • Like Rick talked about Sunday…see the passion they play with and how they respond (slam controller, etc.)…to things that aren’t real! • Lose contact and compassion with real human beings • Perpetuates the “people are objects” mentality…forget they are souls (Matthew 9:36 “harassed and helpless”) • Retards ability to build relationships

  11. The Spiritual • What really happens…online? • Cyber bullying (it’s happening in our neighborhoods!) • “Sexting” – posting suggestive or worse pictures…that picture is out there forever (it’s happening in our church!) • Seemingly innocuous sites can contain objectionable content (Flickr, Instagram, Tumblr) • Cyber predators • Perceived anonymity – would you really say…or do…THAT (anger, flirting, etc.)? • Happens in chat rooms, social media like Twitter/Facebook, IRC, etc.

  12. The Spiritual • What are the results? • Encourages narcissism (Romans 12:3) • Do you think people really care that you just got back home with the “tastiest Frappuccino eva”? • Encourages voyeurism (Instagram, etc. both ways) • Balance between relationships and addiction?

  13. The Spiritual • What are the results? • Over sharing makes you vulnerable! • Google “Kevin Krautwald Raleigh NC”…within just a few links • Spouse and all kids names (passwords?) • Home address & phone (vacation?) • Employment

  14. The Spiritual • Why not just shut it all down? Go all Amish on ya! • Nothing wrong with appropriate entertainment • Can be a source of enjoyment and bonding with family and friends • School work & grades are all on the internet • May need it for work • Lots of good, spiritual content • …but “If your right eye causes you to sin, gouge it out” Matthew 5:29-30

  15. The Spiritual • Gain personal conviction: you cannot help anyone if you are consumed by these things…seek help • Be involved with your kids! • Sit with them while they consume media • Knowwhat they are playing/watching • Don’t let worldly ratings determine what is appropriate content

  16. The Spiritual • Teach and give tools to make good decisions • Discuss how to handle inappropriate situations • Don’t get on internet at friend’s house • Kids should always know they can call you (ala driving) • Discuss what happens at school/friend’s house • Bullying/peer pressure/manipulation • Friend’s house: what did you watch? • When kids have friends over, “invade their privacy” • Would rather protect my child and be “lame” than let Satan get a foothold so I can be “cool”

  17. The Spiritual • Practicals for home computer usage • Talk about it and set clear boundaries • Use the computer in a “public” area…they don’t have to have a computer in their room/behind closed doors • No unallowed sites • No erasing browsing history…no history = guilty • Disable the “private browsing” feature

  18. The Spiritual • Put time limits on usage • Determine what is a reasonable amount • Put controls in place to monitor this (more later) • Have the kids earn time • Homework • Chores • Don’t make it to be the “awesome prize” • Remember: computer use is a privilege, not a right!

  19. The Spiritual • Do technology and worship services go together? • Useful for electronic bible & note taking • Appropriate to text during service? • How does God see this? • Appropriate for kids to play games instead of attending classes? • What is this teaching our kids? • WWJD?
