A response to the talk: To Sweep the Earth as With a Flood.

I had the wonderful opportunity to actually attend this devotional that Elder Bednar gave during the 2014 Education Week in August. It was a great experience and I really felt that this was an apostle of God speaking to me.
Elder Bednar makes a point to talk about social media and how technology has grown over the ages. It's interesting that he talks about this so much because social media is a tool that almost everyone we know uses to communicate. Elder Bednar encourages us to share our feelings about the gospel via social media. By doing this we can spread the word as with a flood. The things we share about the gospel shouldn't be a one time thing but an ongoing thing. We should be looking for ways to share the gospel in our daily lives and social media is such an easy and quick way to do so. If 1 out of the 10 posts we make about the gospel touches someone's life, it will be worth it for us to continue to do so.
I know that I am given many opportunities to share my feelings about the gospel of Jesus Christ and I agree that social media is a great way to do so.
