Elder M. Russell Ballard once said: “From its beginnings, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has used the power of the printed word to spread the message of the restored gospel throughout the world. The Lord, over the centuries, has had a hand in inspiring people to invent tools that facilitate the spreading of the gospel. The Church has adopted and embraced those tools, including print, broadcast media, and the Internet.”[]

The Church has embraced technological advances in an effort to further the work of the Lord. And well it should - since our leaders over the years have told us that we have technology on the earth today specifically to help build the Kingdom. As just one of many examples, here is what President James E. Faust said in 1999, just before the turn of the century: "100 years ago, people still traveled by horse and buggy... There was no air travel, no E-mail, no fax machines, no Internet. There has been an explosion of secular knowledge. I believe that God has opened up these treasures of intelligence to enhance His purposes on the earth. The new century will bring exponential advances in that treasury."[]

Our leaders have made it clear that the Lord has allowed us to develop technology to assist in building His kingdom here on earth. They have also sternly warned us of the ways in which Satan is attempting to corrupt technology usage to serve his evil purposes. Recall Elder Bednar's comment from a 2009 CES fireside: "Today I raise an apostolic voice of warning about the potentially stifling, suffocating, suppressing, and constraining impact of some kinds of cyberspace interactions and experiences upon our souls. …in a cyber world, these challenges are more pervasive and intense."[3]

We must use technology to build the Kingdom, but we also need to be very careful that we do not fall into the traps laid by the adversary when we do.
