Information Overload

Tim Challies has a thought provoking post today. He takes some time to discuss the amount of information currently created by people in our society and the easy access we have to almost all of that information. This increase in information production and availability has affected our culture, both positively and negatively.

One of the effects that he notes for Christians is that it can be very easy to be distracted and therefore neglect spending quiet time focusing on God. I know in my own life I have seen how so many devices and technology can easily draw my mind away from God and stop me from taking time to spend alone with Him. Even though I am grateful for all the benefits of technology and the blessing that it is, I need to be aware of these tendencies.

How are you working to spend time with God despite the distractions of our busy, information overloaded culture?
