With the invention of smart phones, tablets, apps, and additional technology, it gets harder and harder for the believer to grow spiritually. Technology is a God given benefit for mankind. Unfortunately, the enemy uses technology as a tool to hinder the believer’s growth. With modern technology, the enemy has created distractions to prevent us from growing spiritually. We have to check our Facebook accounts, play our games, watch our tv shows, and tweet about the tv shows we’re watching. All of this is distracting the believer from praying, listening to the Word of God, reading the Word of God, and meditating.

Think about time management. Ask yourselves, how much time am I doing something else besides bettering myself spiritually? If we find ourselves living our lives around technology instead of God, then we need to make some changes.

Minimize the distractions.

1 Corinthians 7:35 I am saying this for your benefit, not to place restrictions on you. I want you to do whatever will help you serve the Lord best, with as few distractions as possible.
