It amazes me how many changes technology has brought us over my lifetime. For my grandmother, it was the invention & commercialization of airplanes. She always looked to the skies with awe and wonder.
For me, it is computers, from the ticker cards they used when I was a child, to green monitors, then amber, and finally an inescapable part of our everyday life.
Who knows what the future may hold. For the present, we live in a reality of websites and social media. What an amazing new mission field.
Yes, mission field. In learning how to join or keep up in this brave new era of Facebook and Twitter, I found myself asking what it looked like to be a Christian in an online world. Is there such a thing as living out my faith online?
Each training and class was quick to teach the mechanics of building a page, etc. Yet, where is God’s hand in this? Our children will never know a world without it all.
I’m learning a lot, yet I feel like we as Christians, have a lot of catching up to do. What do you think about it all?
