Billy Graham

Decent Essays
One of the greatest revolutions is Technology that can act as a tool to help spread the Gospel. In the video “Billy Graham: Technology, faith, and human shortcomings”, Billy Graham said about the three problems that David saw: human of evil, the problem of human’s suffering, and death. After I watched the video, I thought that even though sometimes, the technology used in the wrong ways, it is definitely improving the quality of our life. Also, if we utilize technology for spreading the Gospel as well, it will have a great effect.
These days, Anytime and anywhere, if someone wants to share, he or she can do that through SNS, advertising, cell phone, television, and audio. For example, many people use the Bible app through a cell phone to

    The Bible states, “And again I say unto you, it is easier for a camel to go through a needles eye, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.” Today, people are swaying away from this statement because the advancement of technology and what the media is putting in their heads. Richard Restak, in his essay, “Attention Deficit: The Brain Syndrome of Our Era” explains “And by responding, I mean that our brain literally changes its organization and functioning to accommodate the abundance of stimulation forced on it by the modern world”. While the technological stimulation affects a change in the way our brains operate, it also affects this change in our desires and values. Technology and media are reshaping our minds to believe the most important aspects of life are…

    I promptly responded, Suddenly I realized that all my pages and pages regarding the evils of Satan were virtually lacking of what ‘I really wanted to relate;’ by my words I realized my “true desire” transpired as being deliberately vague. This factual bombshell exploded within my being, along with the amazing issue of how unnerved I had become. Unlike the bold encounter I previously mentioned with my Aunt Lucy May regarding this subject, I found the experience of conversing with an unfamiliar man concerning my Godly sexual beliefs, distressed me as much as if Billy Graham was rummaging through my panty drawer needing answers about my “unmentionables.”…

    If used by the right hands, technology can become a powerful tool to stamp out the undesirables from the desirables. This can be seen when Lessig Lawrence explained about the Z-theory and Patriot Act. Just like how the Patriot Act was used by the U.S. government to monitor U.S. citizens phone calls to track for terrorist, during the ages of the Inquisition, inquisitors would also monitor suspected heretics through record keeping and track down heresy. Just like how the Patriot Act only happen during an extreme event like 9/11, the Inquisition was formed because of the growing numbers of unregulated heretics in Languedoc.

    The future succession of His Holiness the 14th Dalai Lama remains unanswered and left with many questions. In the institution of the Dalai Lama, the succession of the Dalai Lama can be done through upholding the Buddhist tradition in Tibet, which evolved into the unique Tibetan tradition of recognizing the reincarnation of the scholar adepts who could serve both the Dharma and sentient beings in a major way. The main purpose of the reincarnation is to continue the predecessor’s unfinished work to serve the Dharma and sentient beings. However, in order to accept the reincarnation or the reality of the Tulkus, we need to accept the concept of past and future lives. The current His Holiness the Dalai Lama has mentioned clear that the “reincarnation…
