  SPEAKER_00: The better question is who is using it and for what purpose?
• 1:59
  SPEAKER_00: As Christians, we should think that way about every invention.

• 3:12
  SPEAKER_00: Sometimes a machine can give an answer, but only God can give wisdom.
• 3:18
  SPEAKER_00: Sometimes technology can gather facts, but only the Lord can guide the heart.
• 3:24
  SPEAKER_00: James one and five says if any of us lack wisdom, we should ask God.

  SPEAKER_00: No invention can replace that.
• 4:16
  SPEAKER_00: No program can do your loving for you.
• 4:20
  SPEAKER_00: No machine can repeat or repent for you.
