The Powers | Technology

from Sunday Encouragement · host Second Baptist Waycross

Technology is one of the greatest gifts of modern life. From washing machines to smartphones, it saves time, reduces labor, and helps us stay connected. But what happens when a helpful servant begins to shape our thoughts, attention, and desires?In this short devotion, we explore Proverbs 4 and Jesus' Parable of the Sower to consider how technology influences our hearts. The question is not whether technology is good or bad. The question is whether we are using it wisely or allowing it to quietly exercise authority over us. Join us as we examine the power of technology and the call to guard our hearts with wisdom.
