Overcoming Objections


Overcoming Objections to Technology...

 

 

One Point of View... from a teacher in a secular high-school.  [Caveat:  Read at the risk of being annoyed.  But maybe awakened.]

 

[Anyone... feel free to jump in and post your thoughts... or related questions.] 

 

Food for thought:    "Can an individual be an effective Christian without knowing all this?

[from a Christian professor]  "At 60 years of age, much of this is new to me. I have also lived in countries where even the pastors had not electricity, refrigerators, air conditioners on the equator, cook with wood or charcoal, and even have to fetch their water in buckets.  Can they be effective Christians? What in the world did Christians do before psychologists and computers? Knowledge is certainly increasing but is the knowledge of the Word and of our God increasing with the increase in knowledge. Please don't misunderstand me, I have a student studying Bible intensely, from Georgia, living and serving in Bolivia and I am the professor with whom she has regular contact and who grades all her work. My question is: where is the balance? Do I spend my extra time in the Electronic end leaning all it will take to make me effective or do I spend it in the Word of God and allow HIM to use me by His Spirit as He will - or is there somewhere in between that I need to find. I think you are - at least in this new information - at the other end of a pendulum and we both probably need to swing each other's direction a little."

Or...   "Why do I need to learn all this when YOU could do it for me?"   Please understand, I am not at all opposed to Technology. It is just that some of us will never be “up to par” in technology because our spare time cannot be spent in technological experimentation or improvement. We need guys like you to come behind or alongside and help get the material out.

Ok, what level of e-capability should EVERY CHRISTIAN have?
