Tech and the Gospel

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Saints is a church that is very plugged in and aware of the impact and reach that technology can have. Currently the Church is active on facebook and twitter. Members are encouraged to share the gospel through blogs and other online social outlets. These are powerful tools that can be used for great good, but come with a word of caution I think that Elder Ardern said it well in his address this last conference,

There is much that is good with our easy access to communication and information. I have found it helpful to access research articles, conference talks, and ancestral records, and to receive e-mails, Facebook reminders, tweets, and texts. As good as these things are, we cannot allow them to push to one side those things of greatest importance.

That's good solid advice for all aspects of our lives. Use the tools that have been given us, but make sure they're used appropriately and in moderation.
