Technology and the Church - Blessing and Responsibility

Elder L. Tom Perry (Ensign, May 2000, 23) makes an interesting point: “technology will bring the messages to us [quicker, but it’s still our job] to internalize the messages of the gospel.” I would add that technology, by increasing our capability, adds to our responsibility to share the gospel. “[Where] much is given much is required.” (Doctrine and Covenants 82:3) I believe the Lord is pleased with all the attempts to use technology to do His work of saving souls. But He is likely far from satisfied. We can all do more than we are doing, and we will be blessed for the effort.
