In this century many things have improved, technology is taking over, new ways to communicate has evolved you can get any information you want with just click of a button.
The effects of these new innovations on our spiritual growth is so bad that it seems we should just stop using them, for example many apps on our phones has kept us so busy that we don’t have time for prayer or daily meditation on the word of God , we are so connected to them 24/7 which makes us to believe the only way to go is to uninstall them and stop making use of any of the new innovations.
