Do you think technology is a help or an impediment to spiritual growth? Is it both?

​I would say that while there are certain ways in which certain types of technology can be a help for spiritual growth, perhaps through making Bibles, sermons, and teaching etc. more accessible, I think that it is far more often a hindrance. Its most negative quality is probably that it is a monumental distraction from more serious, necessary, and godly pursuits, in drawing people away from God’s word toward more mundane and even negative activities. It also, especially when it comes to the paradoxically titled social media, encourages isolation, which is at odds with the fellowship, service, and accountability that God’s word calls his people to be involved in.
Technology is perhaps well compared to a very sharp saw blade – a useful tool, but one that must be used very carefully and with close attention paid to how easily it can injure.
