This afternoon, I had the opportunity to chat with a couple of my classmates regarding the use of technology in churches. It is unfortunate that many churches reject technology not because they can't afford it (always a valid excuse in my book, as long as they really can't afford it) but instead because they dislike its application to church in some way or another.

Unfortunately, if we choose to keep technology out of the church, we will find ourselves becoming Amish - at the best, quaint and isolated from the rest of society and the church. We will choose to hold our use of technology at a certain place in history, and not move beyond it. Computers, and especially the Internet, are here to stay for the forseeable future. Why not incorporate them as we have the various forms of print and broadcast media? Granted, the Internet is not a panacea; it is a tool which may be used to further the mission of God in the world.
