Typically, they arise due to a lack of communication and have become a common problem amongst several generations. At times, they have the feeling of a very serious relationship while never being officially called and determined to be in a legitimate romantic relationship. Situationships can and should be prevented so that all involved feel respected and understood.Photo Credit: ©iStock/Getty Images Plus/FG Trade Latin Wed, 20 May 2026 08:00:00 -0400 2026-05-25T20:03:59-04:00 https://www.crosswalk.com/faith/spiritual-life/ways-phones-hurt-our-spiritual-lives.html https://www.crosswalk.com/faith/spiritual-life/ways-phones-hurt-our-spiritual-lives.html Clarence L. Haynes Jr. https://www.crosswalk.com/author/clarence-l-haynes-jr/ The first computer created was ENIAC. This unbelievably massive computer literally filled an entire room and weighed 30 tons. Today the average smartphone weighs less than half a pound.  Amazingly it fits in our pockets and is infinitely faster and more powerful than ENIAC was or ever could be.While advancements in technology are wonderful and serve a purpose (my kids don’t know a world without smartphones), who would have thought that a phone, though useful and necessary, could actually hurt your spiritual life? While the phone itself is neutral, it is what it allows you to do, the access it gives you, and how you use it that can affect your spiritual life.Here are five ways phones can hurt our spiritual lives:Photo Credit Unsplash/JaePark  Tue, 19 May 2026 08:00:00 -0400 2026-05-25T20:03:59-04:00 https://www.crosswalk.com/family/singles/7-things-i-do-when-the-future-scares-me.html https://www.crosswalk.com/family/singles/7-things-i-do-when-the-future-scares-me.html Jennifer Waddle https://www.crosswalk.com/author/jennifer-waddle/ So often, our fears are based on nothing more than a thought, suggestion, or opinion.

At best, you might get your heart broken, and at worst, you might walk away from your faith.
