I object, your Honor! I have been placed in Twitter Jail, with no subpoena, no written or verbal accusation, no trial by a jury of my peers, and no call to my lawyer. ( I would have called my son, who is my favorite lawyer.)
Suddenly I found that I was unable to "follow" the people who were "following" me on Twitter. I had to do a lot of investigative work to discover that I was suspended from the ability to follow anyone based on some arbitrary number of "the ratio of followers to followed" and would be in Twitter jail for an indeterminate amount of time.
This sounds un-American to me! I didn't even know I was in jail for two days. I thought I was unable to "follow" new people because something was wrong with my computer. I was in a jail without visible bars!
As I thought about the predicament, I saw that God was again speaking. He is very literal sometimes in what He tells me. We may think we are just fine, upstanding and wonderful people...but that is not the case. All of us are prisoners to sin, if we do not recognize the fact that we are indeed sinners. Just look at the ten commandments. I bet you can't recite them. And if you can, are you perfectly upholding all of them? I bet not. You are in prison. It is a prison you can't see, but it is stronger than any prison you can see because those are temporal, and this one is eternal.
But the good news is you can get out! We all are given a "get out of jail free" card by Jesus. All we have to do is admit we sin, repent of our crime, and accept His free "get out of jail card" by believing in Him and accepting His offer of His payment for our freedom and salvation. Easy peasy.
Unlike Twitter jail. I can do NOTHING but wait till they release me. You see why I choose God over Men every time.
