The definition of abduction refers to someone being taken away by force or through deception. When most people think of the term abducted, its usually in the context of kidnapping. The 1996 movie Ransom starring Mel Gibson and Rene Russo uses this story line as the back drop for this film. Yet, the second description of abduction can not be denied as individuals can be abducted through deception.
But God did say, ‘You must not eat fruit from the tree that is in the middle of the garden, and you must not touch it, or you will die,’ Genesis 3:3.”
This past week a couple from Michigan filed a law suit against the creators of Pokemon Go. These parents claim their quality of life has been infringed upon since this popular app has been introduced in the United States. Furthermore, communities and neighborhoods are no longer safe with followers of this game walking the streets at all hours of the day and night. Essentially, what these concerned citizens are suggesting is that teenagers have become abducted by technology.
The integrity of the upright guides them, but the crookedness of the treacherous destroys them, Proverbs 11:3.
At some point in time, this generation has chosen apps, games and social media over relationships. Fueled by the great deceiver, Satan is relying on the old argument which caused Eve to ignore God’s only law, “do not eat from the tree of knowledge.” Unfortunately, many don’t know the Word of God like they should. Thus, when challenged by temptations in life, we all fall hard, wondering what happened to lead us to this place. If this abduction of technology has already occurred, bear down, purge yourself from this environment of sin and cry out to the Lord for divine intervention.
