Sometimes I wonder how much our technological miscalculations as a body of believers impacts others for the worst.
Ever think about that?
Of course, like the above example, there’s nothing we can do about a lot of it, but what about the things that we can control?
If we’re doing more harm than good with our technology use than we should just stop.
Graham says
Which is why I’ve scaled back my use of technology and have started using it only for good or for awesome. I’ve stopped twittering about when I’m going to the bathroom and have only been saying things that I believe should matter.
It seems that every ministry in my church now wants a blog. Which is cool! But I usually ask them why first and make them give me a few posts before I even buy their domain name.
Andy Darnell says
Good thoughts about requiring a few posts before the domain name purchase. I’ll have to use that one.

great “filter” Graham.
I’ve run into the same issue with creating separate sites for different ministries. I ask for content and wait… and wait. And then someone (that hasn’t gotten me content) asks why the site isn’t up!
John Saddington says
filters get old quick… ๐
John Saddington says
asking “why” is a great start.
Isma Martinez says
That’s what happens when you use a PC… ๐
John Saddington says
pwned!
Brent Lacy says
@Graham – good idea on the blog situation. I’ll have to remember that!
John Saddington says
serioulsly.
Travis Fish says
This is a good reminder. Something that needs to always be considered first.
Aaron Melton says
Jesus would use open source.
Just sayin’ ๐
John Saddington says
pwned!!!!

Oh, man. Most churches have finally gotten away from using cheesy clip art, and now I think this might be the next generation of that.
John Saddington says
cheesy clip art ftw!
Nick Shoemaker says
Exactly…. like church reader signs. REALLY?
How many of us go into a business with one of those? For me it equals creepo-ville and I steer clear.
C’mon leaders! Get rid of crappy church reader signs. Besides- you’re just inciting delinquency.
Nick Shoemaker says
(I’m talking about the ones with letters that can be re-arranged.)
But there is a church in my area that has a neat-o one like this (which they no doubt paid big $$ for the permit for). The only problem? It’s on a major state highway and only faces one way!
FAIL!
John Saddington says
dude. i love crappy signs!
