Nothing works unless your perception of reality has been skewed by social media, says the Rev. Dr. John MacArthur. How much of your relationships began with digital interaction, I would be willing to bet a heck of a lot, he asks. What percentage of human interaction is done on our smartphones now, and how much has our reality changed in the last 15 to 20 years since the invention of these things?
