The power of the age

In the last few weeks I have been truly awakened to the power of technology. The ability to interact and socialize through devices that are extremely impersonal have been on my screen for hours a day. This is an interested thought to bring into a biblical time period. In all things we are to ask ourselves, how would this be received from Jesus? Is the technological world bringing honor to God? I know your thoughts. Of course not, pornography is the most active search of the internet. Countless marriages have been disturbed if not destroyed because of internet usage and inappropriate activity. I have been examining this concept in light of the internet being an amazing tool and resource in spreading the love of Jesus.
Communication as we know it is changing. The interaction of our youth has been redefined by the ability to chat, blog, tweet, search etc. So as young adults what do we do in a world that has past us by because of basic technology experience and knowledge. How do we keep up? We, as Paul encourages in his letter to the church on Corinth should “become all things to all men”. Why shy away from a toll road to students? We have a fear of change.
It is my goal and aim to reach the students of this generation without compromising my relationship with Jesus. This demands that I think outside the box but inside The Book. Maintaining our doctrinal beliefs but allowing our methods to shift with the tides of culture is a safe place to stand. Allow me to bring your thoughts back to my original argument against internet usage. Has man changed with more accessibility of sin or has our sin made the accessibility more evident?
Be driven by love and led by the Holy Spirit-
