Sid:  I have a guest this week that is going get to your thinking straightened out because there is so much confusion in what is called “Word of Faith Teaching.” Let me tell you a little bit about myself. You know when Jewish people, and that’s my background I’m Jewish. When Jewish people come to the Lord if you will we’re at the mercy of the people that lead us to the Lord. If someone happens to be Catholic that leads us to the Lord we end up being Catholic. If they happen to be charismatic we end up being charismatic. If they happen to be fundamental we end up being fundamental. Well many of the people that came into my path when I became a new believer were into Word of Faith Teaching. I jumped in hook, line, and sinker, but I have a very pragmatic side and I found for me that it wasn’t working. It was working for others because I heard them say it, but for me it wasn’t working. I kind of distanced myself from it, then I had an unfortunate thing happen. A friend of mine that was very strong in the Word of Faith Teaching, strongest person I know in that arena, died of a serious illness. I was there when he died and the day before he said “I am going to live and not die and declare the works of the Lord.” He was doing everything right, he was dotting every “i”, he was crossing every “t” and that put me in a bit of a tailspin.  But here’s where I’m at now, and I’ve been a believer almost 30 years in the Lord and I believe that God is a faith God. I believe that God’s promises in the Bible are from Him and are true. I believe that there is as much healing in the atonement as there is forgiveness of sin. The best thing we have is meditating on God’s word in reference to physical healing, and standing on the promises despite what is going on with the circumstances of our life and get as close to God as possible. I believe through faith and patience we will inherit the promises, but then when the teaching on prosperity came it really through me for a loop because I saw so much lust, and so much greed, and so much the opposite of what I read about in the word of God especially the words of Jesus it really turned me off. So when I found out about Gary Carpenter whose ministry is in Tulsa, Oklahoma it got me so excited. Gary tell me what happened with you in reference to Word of Faith Teaching and in particular prosperity.

Gary:  Well I was pretty much like you the person that led me to the Lord brought me right into the Word of Faith movement. I listened to all of the tapes, I went to all of the camp meetings by the prominent teachers we got saved my wife and I and Spirit filled in 1980. We was living Tulsa there’s a lot of conventions here and so we would go to all of them. I was probably taught pretty much the same principles and teachings that you were. The thing of it is the men I still have a lot of respect for, and I’m not sure what they were teaching is exactly the way I heard it. The way I heard it this gospel was all about me (laughing).  In other words, the focus was on me, my house, my cars, my prosperity, whether they meant it that way or not that’s the way I heard it. Everything that was taught every principle such as the 100 fold return and we could just go down the list. I’ll say it this way, I’ve been down every one of those rabbit trails. It may or may not have been working for them, you know they say it was and perhaps it was, I never could make it work for me. We floundered pretty much that was what we were, you know what we cut our teeth on when we became Christians. But I got pretty disillusioned pretty much like you say. It didn’t really change for me until 1992 and that’s the year that Sue and I began attending Pastor Dave Roberson’s church here in Tulsa called the Family Prayer Center. It’s amazing the timing of the Lord Dave was teaching a series just as we began there. In that series he was saying “You know there’s really nothing wrong with faith, without faith it’s impossible to please Him.” Hebrews 11:6 I believe says that “Without faith it’s impossible to please Him. He that comes to God must be that He is and that He is a rewarder of those that diligently seek Him.”

Sid:  You know what I like to do Gary is a… what I consider a better definition than the word “Faith” is I usually insert the word “Trust.”

Gary:  Yes.

Sid:  And when you insert the word “trust” instead of the word “faith,” I mean you have to be stupid to not believe that without trust you can’t please God.

Gary:  Well that’s for sure you know. My children if I found out they didn’t trust me, if they didn’t trust my words to them that would hurt me tremendously it certainly wouldn’t please me.  It pleases me when they trust daddy, and it pleases our Father when we trust Him.

Sid:  So you were exposed to this teaching and what difference did it make?

Gary:  Well Dave he said “There’s nothing wrong with the faith movement but now here’s the problem what is decreed by the faith man. ‘Well I’m not moved by what I see, I’m not moved by what I feel, I’m only moved by the word of God.’” Well that’s true but without the leadership of the Holy Spirit you may start down a certain path but it’s not really His direction for your life. So God starts sending all kind of warning signals and flags going “Wrong path wrong way” but you’re a faith man you’re not moved by any of that and so you just keep going. Dave says “Faith is good, God is trustworthy but we are to be led by His Spirit not by our own desire.” Then he began to teach us how we could become more in attune to voice and the leadership of the Holy Spirit, His guiding. As anyone who knows Pastor Dave Roberson very well knows he teaches very… expounds a lot on praying in the spirit, praying in other tongues. What Pastor Dave calls the mortification, edification process.

Sid:  But you knew this you had been charismatic for a while, speaking in tongues for a while before you wondered into his church. What’s the difference?

Gary:  Oh the difference is tremendous. I think I was like most charismatics in those days you get up in the morning you quote 2 or 3 scriptures, you spend maybe 10 or 15 minutes praying in other tongues and you’ve pretty well had your fellowship time, at least that was most of the ones that I knew. What Dave is talking about a combination of 2 things, he really taught us how to meditate, really, on the word of God leaving every scripture in context, never lifting a verse out of its setting, and he also told us and taught us to spend hours praying in other tongues giving the Holy Spirit time to communicate those mysteries like it says in 1^st Corinthians 14:2 “He that speaks to God, he that speaks in an unknown tongue speaks not unto men but unto God. How be it in the spirit he speaketh mysteries…” but we’re not speaking mysteries to God that He doesn’t understand. The Holy Spirit is communicating with us mysteries that we don’t understand, and a big part of that is our very calling, what is God wants us to do in the body of Christ what it is we are to accomplish for the kingdom while we are on earth. After hearing Dave’s message… now here’s something I say all the time, when I first started hearing Dave a common thing that I said “I have been burned by so many well-meaning preachers in the past. Pastor Dave I love you, I appreciate you but no matter what you say it’s not scripture until I find it (laughing).” So everything he would teach I would take every verse I would go to the Bible, I would check it out. I did that process for about 6 months. We began in June of 1992 and it was December of 1992 before I finally concluded after checking every scripture, checking it in context, I could find nothing wrong with the messages it sure sounded right.  So I made a commitment, at the time I was driving long-haul trucks across the country. I said “Lord I’m stuck in the cab of this truck anyway I’m just going to turn of the CB, I’m going to turn off the radio. If I’m in the cab of this truck I’m just going to make it my prayer closet and I will be praying.”

Sid:  Now what is the difference you understood praying in tongues before why all of a sudden you were motivated?

Gary:  After listening to Pastor Dave I never understood that those long periods of time spent praying in other tongues, that praying in other tongues is a revelation gift. That is one method, a very effective method where the Holy Spirit Himself you know like a teacher in college. Every hour you give Him it’s like a teacher standing at the blackboard communicating and teaching your reborn human spirit everything that Christ is in you, to you, and through you. As I began that process things that I had heard I had heard other men teach these same faith principles and things out of the Bible but the way I say it now “You know it’s hard to live on another man’s faith.” I knew the principles in my head but the problem was I couldn’t make them work for me.

Sid:  I’ll get a little sarcastic right now Lord forgive me, it’s easy to leave to live on another man’s faith if you’re teaching it and giving up an offering.

Gary:  (Laughing)

Sid:  However, where the rubber meets the road it doesn’t work.

Gary:  That was the problem, in fact it’s amazing you say that because in the 80’s, again the late 80’s before I started at Pastor Dave’s…

Sid:  Hmm. Hm.

Gary:  …I had learned all of those faith principles. I’m a good student, I had studied and learned. I did teach those principles (laughing) I taught them just as well as the men that I learned them from. People would ask me questions I didn’t have to go back and check any notes I knew there message. I knew it in my head but I could not make it work for me, and the big problem there is I really didn’t know the Lord very well. I knew the message but I didn’t know the Lord not in an intimate way, not in a day by day relationship way…

Sid:  Out of curiosity with the hours, and you were a truck driver, so you could devote long periods of time praying in unknown tongues. Did your intimacy with God increase as a result of that?

Gary:  Oh! My whole world is different, everything about our life is different. All of my… how do I say this, I have no agendas of Gary Carpenter anymore. All of those kind of aspirations during that process died. The more time you spend communicating and fellowshipping with the Holy Spirit that the more intimate relationship He develops between you and the Lord.

Sid:  Woops we’re out of time!

Sid:  My guest by way of telephone if you’re not red hot by the time you listen to this week’s broadcast or read his book “Future Wave” you will be. His name is Ed Hindson he’s the assistant chancellor at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia. He is the new dean of the Tim LaHaye School of Prophecy in Lynchburg. His specialty as you might guess is Bible Prophecy end-time scenarios. He’s teamed up with a futurist a high-tech man by the name of Lee Frederickson come out with a brand new book called “Future Wave” that the greatest science fiction writers of our day I don’t think they even came close to speculating what’s available today. For instance, you were talking Ed on an earlier broadcast about implanting into the brain a microchip that would allow a human to become a super human that would have wonderful benefits from the viewpoint of controlling health and helping people to live longer. To be able to get all the information in the Library of Congress just by thinking a thought and the computer chip would just be like a regular computer except you’re walking around with it you don’t even have to plug into electricity. Has anyone actually attempted to put this chip inside of a human?

Ed:  Actually one of the researchers in this area did have done to himself and wanted to see how this would work, how this could be effective and eventually found himself communicating with himself so much that his own wife got jealous that she couldn’t get his attention. Like a guy who has his face in the computer all the time and doesn’t even want to come to the dinner table, the computer was in his mind.

Sid:  But can you imagine if the kid doesn’t have to go up to his room to the computer he could be in the computer as he’s having dinner.

Ed:  Exactly or anywhere. It’s going to affect how we communicate with each other, how we deal with each other. Right now on a much lower level for example, people will be talking on their cell phone in the middle of church. It’s not that somebody’s alarm watch went off in the middle of the sermon now, now people are talking on their cell phone in the middle of the sermon because somebody beeped in on them. You’ve got people responding with email devices right from their seat wherever they are. You’re going to end up with people having these things in their brain. Wireless communication transfer of information from one computer to another. This computer is only going to be the size of a computer chip that’s the difference. Somebody could be there listening to you preach the sermon but he could be downloading information about other things. Now the neat side of that is you could be talking about Jesus going to Jerusalem and he could download information about Jerusalem if he wanted to. He could also be downloading the Three Stooges in a movie and not paying one bit of attention to what you are saying. It’s going to be more and more of a challenge to get people’s attention in the future, keep it focused, and keep it focused on the word of God.

Sid:  What do you see as the future to education?

Ed:  I think the future in education is we’re going to move more and more towards what institutions call today “External Study Programs.” When schools first began to do this kind of thing whether they did it through correspondence courses, or they did it through audio tapes, then video tapes were a big thing. With Liberty we pioneered video education externally fully accredited. There were people that complained “Oh this isn’t real education” now everybody is doing this. Every school in the country has video courses. Now they’re moving to internet courses and pretty soon the information can be transferred right directly to your own brain. You won’t have to pick up and go away to school anymore school will come to you. Instantaneous language translation means you can study under a professor in university that you did not know the language. So that a Gentile for example could study at the Hebrew University under an archaeology professor like Dothan and get all of her information about excavation of Philistine sites automatically in English.

Sid:  There’ll be no need to learn a foreign language.

Ed:  No it’ll be gone. You’ll have… the “Global Brain” is what the educational technology people are calling it. It’s going to be information on an internet kind of a system, wireless transformation and communication of that information right directly into your own brain. There won’t even be a need for a teacher necessarily on site. The challenge with all of that is that means eventually the people who control the technology will control the mind.

Sid:  But in affect today doesn’t television control this generation?

Ed:  Oh yeah totally!

Sid:  But you’re saying even greater.

Ed:  Even greater direct control right into the mind. It’s just like you have to shut your computer off at the end of the day, you’re going to have to shut this thing or its going to be with you 24 hours a day and influencing… you can also communicate the gospel through that means which will be a tremendous opportunity and option for people.

Sid:  Now where do economics fit in to the whole education mode of the future?

Ed:  Well I think money drives the system ultimately. The educational institutions cannot afford to continue to expand at the rate that they’ve been expanding. Almost all of them are financially challenged and therefore this becomes a cheaper, quicker, less costly way to communicate not only the information you want taught but you don’t need as large as a faculty, you don’t need as large of a library. Students today don’t even go to the library they download everything on their computer from the library. The books are there but nobody’s checking them out. They’re getting all of it off the computer and there’s a lack of discernment in doing that. I’ve found even with students writing a paper for me in a Bible prophecy class like on the book of Daniel. They’ll download… they’ll just type in words and concepts and just pull up whatever is available on the net. Some of it is very legitimate research, some of it’s crazy stuff that some guy put on his website and they can’t discern the difference which tells me that eventually that’s how the anti-Christ will control how people think. Just like a librarian selectively starts to eliminate certain books you just start eliminating electronically certain information and pretty soon it’s not there, and if it’s not there the new generation functions as though it was never there.

Sid:  Well and of course the books of the future will all be the internet.

Ed:  Exactly electronic books.  Lee the co-author of “Future Wave” is a specialist in this area. He says that you’re going to have electronic books and electronic newspapers. They call them e-books and an e-newspaper in which you download this information onto something that looks like paper it might even feel like paper but it’s not really paper it’s a screen. You can get today’s news on it then blank the whole thing out then download it again tomorrow and get tomorrow’s news on it. You can get one book on it eliminate that and bring in another book. If you want to print it you hit the print button and you print the thing. The way we give information and the way we get information changes dramatically in the next few years.

Sid:  So someone or some group could literally control what we think, I mean we were talking earlier this week about once the chip is inside of the brain they can transmit… remember the subliminal advertising they used to have in movies were so quick you wouldn’t even see it with your eye. It would say “Buy popcorn” and more people would buy popcorn. They’ll be able to do this with the brain.

Ed:  Yeah and that’s the scary part because you won’t even see it flip by for a split second. This will be in the brain for a split second and in there it’s going be more effective you’ll have more people buying popcorn so to speak than ever before. Or doing anything else, that communication could say “Obey the law. Follow the rules.” Or it could tell you to rise up in rebellion and overthrow the government.

Sid:  Boy this stuff gets scary. With the positives which we brought out we’ll be able to control diabetes, control blood pressure, control all of the various diseases of society through these chips. There’s wonderful things that will occur but there’s equally negative things that’ll occur. So how should we spiritually respond?

Ed:  I think we have to do 3 things:

1. I think as Christians we have to not run away from the technology. It’s a God given human intelligence that enables human beings to develop these things. We all appreciate the benefits of the lightbulb we don’t want to live with candles anymore. We understand the value of radio and television etcetera so we need to understand the technology can be used for good and find ways to use it most effectively.
2. We also have to be discerning enough to realize that one of the dangers of technology is you become so dependent on it you can’t function without it. Don’t just sit around with your face in a computer screen all day long whether it’s as big as a television set or as small as a watch. Get out and enjoy nature go fishing, have your time with your family. We can communicate with the world but we can’t communicate with each other.
3. I think prophetically we have to be discerning enough to realize that all of this is only moving us many many steps closer to a world that can be controlled by an individual and an individual system. Everything the Bible predicts about the coming of the anti-Christ, the control of a global economy and a world government is going to be made possible by the development of technology so we have to understand there’s a danger in all of this as well as a positive.

Sid:  Ed you’ve written this book “Future Wave,” do you sense that this is not just an ordinary book, but this is a book that’ll light a fire under people?

Ed:  Our hope is that it will help first of all people like me who are not into every nuance of technology. Understand what in the world is going today it blew my mind. Then for people like Lee the co-author who are really at the cutting edge of using technology to be able to raise words of caution to us as to where this is going. Many of the seminaries right now have whole new programs and bioethics and how to raise ethical and spiritual questions and issues that are going to be impacted by the development of technology especially in a biological medical field. But there’s technology going on in the educational field, in the transportation field all of these things are going to impact the way we live life today. So I think the challenge in “Future Wave” is if you don’t understand what’s been happening and what’s going to happen this book is a wonderful introduction.

Sid:  My guest by way of telephone is the assistant chancellor of Liberty University. I’m speaking to him at his office in Lynchburg, Virginia. His name is Ed Hindson. He’s teamed up with a futurist a high-tech man by the name of Lee Frederickson and they’ve written a book called “Future Wave.” The greatest science fiction writers of our day didn’t even come close to what’s inside this book that is actually happening today in the infancy if you will, but time is speeding up so quickly. Now Ed your specialty is end-time Bible prophecy. So based on your knowledge now of what’s going on in technology and your knowledge of the Bible, what do you think the mark will be? What do you think the anti-Christ will be? Will he be a person? Will he be a system? Will he be a robot? What is your sanctified speculation based on technology and the Bible as to what we will see when that anti-Christ is in operation?

Ed:  Sid I think we have to begin with what does the Bible say about him. Then look at where is technology today and then do the speculating about what all of that could mean. I think the scripture makes it very clear that first of all the ant-Christ is a person. He’s referred to as “He” in the masculine as specific man, a man of sin, a man of lawlessness, a son of perdition etcetera. He as god sits in the temple of god claiming that he is god. So you get all of these personalized masculine descriptions. He’s a human being, he’s an individual, he gains control of the world and the world system. Economically, I think technologically, then ultimately setting up a global government and a global military system as well. But on the other you also have passages in scripture that talk about his kingdom about his system, about his government etcetera. Not only does the anti-Christ come under the judgment of Jesus Christ at His return and he’s cast into the lake of fire. You also have the whole system of anti-Christ described symbolically as Babylon that is destroyed and burned up. It’s a city, it’s a government, it’s a place it’s the materialistic intellectual headquarters of the world etcetera. So I think we have to look at both aspects of Bible prophecy. John, Jesus’ disciple way back in the 1^st century said “The anti-Christ is coming you’ve heard that he’s coming, but I tell you many little anti-Christ have already come.” The spirit of anti-Christ is already at work in the world it’s that anti-God attitude, that anti-Christ attitude that motivates people to be the tool of Satan to do the work of Satan. Whether that is a false prophet who denies the teaching of the Bible, or whether that is somebody who hates the people of God like Hitler attempting to destroy the Jewish people, or whether it is some anti-Christian movement in society today that is trying to destroy the influence of Judeo-Christian morality in our society. Those attitudes are already at work because Satan is already at work. The timing has not yet come for him to move that individual into power who will then enact the program and the policies and the attitude of Satan worldwide, but the stage is certainly being set in that direction. Now when we take those Biblical descriptions and then we put them with that passage in Revelation 13 that the world worships the image of the beast. Now in the Greek New Testament it’s the word eikon, it could be a painting, or a statue or whatever but some kind of an image of the beast, but the false prophet gives life to the image of the beast. It can speak, it can talk, you can interact with it and it can even respond and hurt you and kill you if you do not worship the image of the beast. I began to see something more like a televised image, more like interactive TV that goes a step further in which you have a 3 dimensional hologramic image that could actually be projected into your living room. So that Tom Brokaw could appear to be in your living room and give you the evening news. In this case the ant-Christ, the world leader, could appear in your living room to speak to you about governmental policies or whatever.

Sid:  You know I’m reminded going back to Adolf Hitler it wasn’t natural the demonic supernatural power that he had to motivate people. They would go to these meetings where there would be torches at night and just the whole thing caught the people up into the same spirit that was on Adolf Hitler. You’re saying this could happen in everyone’s living room everywhere in the world because we were talking on our earlier broadcast the languages would be simultaneously translated into the language of the people from whatever country they are from.

Ed:  Yeah imagine if he could have communicated that message not just in German to the German people but he could have automatically communicated that message to every language group in the world.

Sid:  Hmm.

Ed:  The exponential development of his following would have been incredible. He would have had hundreds of millions potentially worldwide. There were even some Americans early on that thought “Well he sounds like a pretty good deal. He’s for work and hard work, and good ethics and morality. He wants everybody to behave and cooperate and he’s going to produce a more efficient, more effective economy in Germany. Maybe this would be a good thing.” They could not foresee the demonic devilish attitude that was being communicated. Now the Jewish community certainly picked up on it very quickly because they realized they were the target of a lot of that. Even then you had people as intelligent as Sigmund Freud who was Jewish who was living in Austria and saying “Ah it’s just talk they don’t really mean that. They’re really not going to do that.” Only at the last second before the onslaught was he finally persuaded to move to America. Otherwise…

Sid:  Listen even our Jewish rabbis, our traditional Jewish rabbis in Poland were saying “Don’t go to Israel” or in Germany “This is a great country,” even with the handwriting on the wall they chose not to believe it because it was so horrific.

Ed:  Yeah and I think there is a tendency in the same direction among American Christians today to say “Oh things aren’t that bad. We’re really not getting into a modern day Sodom and Gomorrah it’s a little more than it ought to be but you know it’s recoverable.” Yet many are saying “We’ve already gone beyond the point of no return.” We have a society that is so obsessed with pleasure and self-gratification that law and decency and order, and commitment to God, and the word of God are things of the past. We’ve got a kind of feel good Christianity today that says to people “It don’t matter what you believe just kind of you know… let’s all just get together and sort of sing and dance.”

Sid:  It’s a self-gratification that’s slipped right from the world into the church.

Ed:  Exactly and it’s come really right from the heart of Satan himself. I have a friend who recently visited a Buddhist monastery and he was curious about it and there was a temple there and there was nobody in the temple but a monk. He went up to the monk and said “Help me to understand what you believe.” The monk said “What do you mean?”  And he said “Well your theology what’s your theology?” The monk thought for a minute and he said “Well we don’t have a theology.” “Then what’s your ideology? What are you trying to accomplish?” And he said “Well we don’t have an ideology.” So my friend said to him “What do you do?” The monk thought for a minute and he said “We dance.” All of a sudden he said “It hit me we’re moving in Judeo-Christian circles almost into that same kind of mindless attitude today.” We come to church to sing and dance but it really doesn’t matter what we believe. The danger is once Satan captures the hearts of people he’s got their emotions. He’ll control their mind and ultimately use their body to accomplish whatever purposes he wants to accomplish. All of a sudden we see this descendants of the human race away from family and value…

Sid:  It’s like the old story of the frog in the slow boiling water versus the hot.

Ed:  You throw him in a pot of hot, a pot of hot water he’ll jump right out, but you put him in a slow boil and he’ll swim around in there until it finally kills him.

Sid:  What you’re saying is that’s what is really going on. Let’s go back to the scenario for the future. What do you envision is the mark of the beast?

Ed:  I think the mark of the beast is going to be some kind of an external thing that can be seen. The Biblical term in the book of Revelation kragma abrand, a tattoo, it’s not just necessarily something slipped under the skin. It’s something people can immediately identify, these are people that are marked these are the people that are not.

Sid:  Sort of like the Jews in Germany who had to wear a Star of David.

Ed:  Star of David so they could easily be seen and identified. Had he had the ability to do it today they would have just tattooed that right on everybody. Then you couldn’t pull the star off of your pin and try to hide your identity in some way. I think however if we look at…

Sid:  But if it’s on the forehead then everyone will be able to see it.

Ed:  See it, yeah. Also then somehow with this thing implant some kind of device in people that can identify their location, can in some ways control their behavior and their physical responses you could end up with a society that is totally, completely, chemically, and computerized controlled.

Sid:  This is way beyond Oral Welles’ 1984, way beyond it!

Ed:  Way beyond it. Then to satisfy them you dispense physical pleasure to them. You create even if you have to do it artificially the sense of sexual gratification, or physical gratification. You convince them through computerized technology that they’ve just eaten a gigantic chocolate bar and they’re happy. Then they’ll do anything you want them to do. So that’s the scary part of the technology.

Sid:  Now what is that famous quote from communism? “Give me a child before a certain age and I’ll make them anything I want.” Isn’t that what this technology will be used with say the next generation of children? Have them totally controlled.

Ed:  Yeah you’ve got people right now saying “We should put an identification chip in every kid because then your child can’t be kidnapped, he can’t get lost you lose your kid at the mall you immediately find where he’s at.” Now it’s not as far-fetched as people think so I wouldn’t do that. There are lots of people right now who already have an implanted chip they don’t realize it it’s in their car it’s called OnStar. You get lost you push a button all of a sudden the person comes on and talks to you says “Hey where are you? You’re lost you’re in Philadelphia you’re trying to get to New York you’re on the wrong street you need to go here, go there straighten yourself out etcetera.” We say “Oh that’s terrific!” The chip knows where my car is. Well you put the chip in your dog you know where your dog is. You put it in your child you know where your child is.  You put it in you they know where you are.

Sid:  As you said earlier this week technology is such that you’ll be able to swallow this chip like a pill.

Ed:  Yep so it won’t all that difficult. It won’t even take surgery to implant the thing in you it will implant itself inside you.

Sid:  What type of feedback are you getting on your new book “Future Wave?”

Ed:  Well people are… everything. Some are thrilled and excited about the potential of using the technology to communicate the gospel. Other people are scared to death saying “Oh my goodness I see us moving into a world of mind control, body control and everything else. I want to know how it will affect my children. How’s it going to affect our kids in our educational system and the next generation?” There’s so much information available on the internet right now….
