kearon’s arguement

A

we are being affected by the media we consume. messages of love are comfort. center yourself so you can always be in communication with Christ and the Spirit. why we can’t feel the spirit: hearts burdened by clamor of life, hearts hardened by sin, hearts may be malnourished.

Q

ridd’s arguement

A

you are growing up with one of the greatest tools has both the very best and the very worst the world offers. God granted according to desires and our desires are shown by our habits which is like a cookie tracking our activity. your “cyber book of life.” knowing who you are really are helps with decisions. plug into the source of power like a phone into spirituality. owning a smartphone doesn’t make you smart but using it wisely can. the Lord provides technology to accomplish his purposes. why do you use the internet? too many messages bombard us and distract us from our personal revelation time.
