Day 20: BYU Magazine

Speaking of technology and the internet:
"I really believe that this is the fire this generation has to pass through," says Knutson (Charles D. Knutson, associate professor of computer science). It's the river of filthiness in Lehi's dream. He said the iron rod was on the riverbank, so when you're clinging to the rod, you're very close to the river. It's muddy, and you get splashed. But you can't let go and move further from the filthiness. You're where you're supposed to be. It's not your location that's safe or unsafe--it's how you behave despite your proximity to temptation. We cannot withdraw from the world but instead are called to be in it while we hold on to the scriptures, good parents, others who are godly, and, most of all, the Savior."
