Mark Batterson, the pastor of National Community Church in Washington, D.C., has written a wonderful article on his Evotional Blog, about how the church has always used cutting-edge technology to further the kingdom of God.
Here’s a couple of great quotes from Mark’s article:
The church has to be in the business of redeeming technology and using it to serve God’s purposes.
For what it’s worth, my passion for blogging and godcasting have historical roots. The Internet is to my generation what the printing press was to the 15th century. Theology and technology ought to be the closest of allies.
I’d encourage you to go and read the entire article, which has some very helpful insights on how technology “fueled the Protestant Reformation.”
I believe that the internet provides today's church with a historic opportunity .... to tell the old, old story of Jesus and His love in ways which could only have been imagined in times past. The objective of this website is to explore the various ways in which today's technology can be used to spread the gospel around the world.
