Technology

Increasingly, we are relying on technology and it is at the very least interesting. Often we are encouraged to take a technological route in order to save time, minimise effort, and keep our interest active. It certainly fits with the attention deficit world in which we live...or is it a cause?

So the technology assists us in communicating the gospel in incredible ways both in content and in overall exposure. We can reach so many more and in so many mediums. Hallelujah!

The message, however, is to a human heart from a divine heart. The technology is reduced to an instrument or vehicle by which the gospel can be shared. Use it for the glory of God. Explore the many new possibilities offered to us technologically. Know that it is a message of the heart to the heart.

2 John 1:12 (MSG)
12 I have a lot more things to tell you, but I'd rather not use paper and ink. I hope to be there soon in person and have a heart-to-heart talk. That will be far more satisfying to both you and me.

Commissioner did you see Andrew Dentons "Enough Rope" - interesting interview with Tanya Leven she speaks about her awakening coming when working with along side Salvation Army Officers - it was a reminder to me that we are unique and play an important part in the wider universal church and it would be sad if we lost our identity and became just another church.

you can catch the interview on the ABC Website.
