Attention Economy
A wandering eye brings suffering. Suffering focuses attention.
Give ear and come to me; listen, that you may live.
— Isaiah 55:3
Fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith.
— Hebrews 12:2a

We live in an attention economy. Hucksters and grifters constantly vie for our attention. Attention is money. All publicity is good publicity. The internet and new media channels make the attention economy seem modern. It's not. It's as old as Adam and Eve, the people of Israel, and a distracted Church. For our sake and the sake of the whole world, God wants to capture our attention and trust away from kings and idols. Even his wrath is meant to focus us.
