What happens in our hearts while we scroll?

In this Sabbath message from House of Prayer 24-7, Brother Deshone examines the commandment, “Thou shalt not covet,” and applies it to one of the most ordinary parts of modern life: social media.

We constantly see the highlights of other people's lives—their homes, marriages, children, bodies, businesses, vacations, money, and influence. But what enters our hearts when we see them?

Brother Deshone teaches that obedience reaches deeper than outward behavior. God's concern is also with the heart. Rather than allowing comparison to produce discontentment, God's children are called to guard their hearts, rejoice with others, recognize the extraordinary value of what they already possess, and once again learn to count their blessings.

Come pray with us every day at 7 a.m., 12 noon, and 9 p.m. Eastern Time. Join us at HouseofPrayer247.org.
