Can our kids use technology and remain separate from the world?

Separate

The sixth and seventh chapters of 2 Corinthians talk about God within us.

In it, Not of it

It talks about being separate from the world and purifying ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit.

It’s one thing for a mature adult to exercise the freedom of consciousness to utilize a digital tool, like a smartphone. It’s quite another to give this powerful device to a kid who is still a decade or more removed from having a fully developed brain.

If we are truly seeing things through the lens of God living in us, how can we possibly justify giving our kids unencumbered access to their own smartphones?

So what if the whole culture is doing it? Slavery benefited many people in the 1800s, but like iSlavery today, it ruined the lives of many others.
