Should we use technology?

I know I am opening up a can of worms, but there has been some debate as to whether the Church, God's called out people, should use the emerging technology to our advantage or are the old ways good enough. The status quo says that the old way of doing things was fine. Word of mouth and regular acoustic were good enough for those that went before us, so why do we need to change with the world around us. First of all I should point out that while we, as Christians, are not of this world, we still live in it. In order to reach the world we live in, we need to use the tools the world uses so they can come to understand us and we them. We live in a world of technology, and it would be irresponsible for Christians to turn a blind eye to it. If we are not affecting technology, then technology is affecting us.

There are a variety of tools out there that we can make use of and in the coming post I hope to find and explore those tools. I know there is need as evidenced by the voice of one of my fellow bloggers (below is a link to his blog).

Until next we meet, keep the faith and continue the race until you reach the end.
