Just a quick note to follow up on the radio programme today on how technology has affected Christianity. We all know the obvious: technology has affected virtually all areas of our lives, and many of its benefits are good, although there is misuse. But technology, as money or music, is neutral - it all depends on how we use it!
Some use technology like radio, TV and the internet to spread the Gospel, connect people and promotye godly morals and values in society and politics. That's great! Others, however, use it to rob people, promote bad stuff, and even use it for terrorist communications. That's bad! But should we avoid it all together because some misuse it? I don't think so; we simply have to use it right.
Some Christians become lazy, don't go to local church meetings, and stop calling on the power of God to spread Christianity but rather rely on technology instead. But technology is not a substitute for the power of God, neither is radio or TV for the local church - it can be a supplement but never a substitute. The apostle Paul had very little technology but was highly efficient in what he did. So we must be aware of the dangers, but use technology in the right ways.
