but if there can be one extreme
can there not be another??

But they can give us knowledge, being ignored or even distracted becouse of tecnology we lose all sence of compashion in our lives our sence of what the world is like we think that we have the world in our hands but we should be able to go out and actually see it, with out a picture sent from e mail or computer. Depending on how you look at something you can identify what it would meen, like being a way to talk to someone unable to come to you, or lettin other people know how you feel when you cant exactly be by them. so depending on how you look at it computers and cell phones can be a good or bad thing. technology can make us brain dead, suck all the knowledge from our heads unable to hear what someone is saying.

I hate it when people are too busy texting on their cell phones socially to speak to those right in front of them in flesh and blood. Therefore, I try not to do the same to others!

Human nature does make it hard to be disciplined in our thoughts. On our own, we can't give time to deep thought and keep out all of the ungodly sights and sounds. That's why God sent us His Holy Spirit--to guide our thinking. Stillness and quiet is where He helps us most, and a healthy "mental diet" of truth and Scripture is His reference index.

Otherwise the evil images, lyrics, thoughts come back to haunt you. It is possible to have such an active mental life that music, movies, cell phones, and the like become annoying distractions from the glory within. It's all about reading the scriptures and plotting how to become like Christ. Silence does no good unless you’ve fed your mind a diet of only the absolute best.

That's really something to think about. I've always wondered why I fail to retain so much of what I read. Someone will ask me a question about something, something that I know I read or heard just the other day, and though I remember having been informed of it, I don't remember the answer! I've felt so ashamed at those times, thinking of how wasteful my time reading it must have been. Now you've supplied me with the solution. I'm going to digest this food for thought properly. Thank you for sharing. Wow! That’s really something to think about. I’ve always wondered why I fail to retain so much of what I read.

Sometimes He uses song lyrics or articles...etc. But to really HEAR Him, and not just Him using things, we need th silence. Our God is a jealous God, and He wants our time...He wants to spend time thinking with us, and us thining about Him. i have friends who struggle because they never hear God,, I always cringe. How can you hear your mom when your ears are plugged? The same is true with God. excellent post…although i’m just now getting around to reading it! deep thinking is the meat of our “thought life”, but it’s also critical that we can only hear God when we’re quiet.
