Insightful Sermon! Technology has 2 important sides to it. One that Satan loves and one that can be used to understand the Gospel and know Christ Jesus better. Unfortunately the first is being overused by the secular world as well as by the Christian world. I have gone through the first stage, and now I get much blessings from listening to so many great fundamental Christian preachers and I can listen to them 24/7 and I do put in most of my spare time that way. I now know that wasting time or being mentally lazy is sinful. And the joy I get from hearing Scripture is beyond acknowledgement -- for me, thank you Jesus for the internet -- it's helped me grow closer to You! This site is a blessing to anyone and everyone who uses it.

Great Sermon! Technology does vex our lives if we are hearing the Lord.
If we are not hearing the Lord we will go on about our faster and faster lifestyle without question.
The Lord has made it very clear to me that if the internet causes me to sin I am not to have it.
The question the Lord asked me was "How important is knowledge? Is it so important that it causes you to sin?"
Redeem the time for the days are evil
I spent 2 years researching media and technology and it is very frightening what it is doing to our minds.
You mentioned social validation.
This is scary because this is idea of Rick Warrens "Community" the communal mind.
The Communal conscience rather than personal conscience.
I am at war in my own home constantly with the issue.
I struggle to gain the attention of my children when reading the word of God.
They cannot remember what I tell them.
I issue nothing but constant warning of the evil of what media teaches us today. Specific examples.
Travelling to work each day on the train, people cannot be spoken to about Jesus. No one is interested.
Not only is technology vexing, but it is making many many people very very lonely. I am one of them.
Tell the children in your church to study well and pray, for they are missing out on NOTHING.
