Selfies with friends but what about Jesus

In the world today we are a selfie centered world. We tend to even take photos of our food.
All this is nice. But... We tend to leave out someone in our selfie. No it's not our friends or family or ourselves. It's Jesus. Today's little kids are to obsessed with their mothers cell phone that there is no time to learn about Jesus. When I was a kid I only had the television and books and a bible and lots of toys. Maybe you think "what are selfies bad now?" No selfies are not bad but why should we only focus on ourselves than focus on God? I'm guilty of taking selfies. Yes they are memories that we can print out and save for the rest of our lives. But Jesus is a person who is eternal. So the question is.... Which is more important selfies or eternal life with God? If you say selfies then let me give you the definition of selfish.
having or showing concern only for yourself and not for the needs or feelings of other people
Jesus has feelings. He's not made up. He's the almighty. If you think that someone is higher power you probably picture money. A millionaire or  someone who has billions of dollars. I think higher power is God that's all that's ever been.
What about technology back then and I'm talking about 1900-1999?
They didn't know what a selfie was the 20th century was a century that had dancing and music. Yes they has radio news and show radio but they also had God. Maybe if you put yourself on a challenge on no selfies for a week you'll see the challenge that life holds. For one go outside don't play games all day go outside play basketball or football or baseball or a game that involves family and friends without having to take a selfie. Take a picture of nature. Post it to snapchat, Twitter,Facebook,Instagram, or send it to a friend or family member. 
“And as for us, why do we endanger ourselves every hour?”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭15:30‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Why do we endanger ourselves with this selfie centered world? What is the solution?
I challenge you to stop the selfies for a week. Or a month see where. It gets you.
