Hey Brett,

Do you think that the increase in technology could also open up doors for Christians to step into and take full advantage off an oppertunity to further the Gospel?

Yes, yes, yes! That is exactly what technology will do. In fact, that point will be a major part of our discussion regarding competence and collaboration. Namely, how can we wield these tools effectively (competence) and in a coordinated manner (collaboration) to further the kingdom of God?

I'm so glad that you're thinking along those lines! That's exactly the kind of questions we need to be asking ourselves. How can we take the changes that have created all these challenges and use them to our advantage?

Thank you so much for you comment!

Regarding Internet pornography: Did you know that you can report such sites, and have the data forwarded to Federal law enforcement?

See ObscenityCrimes.org for more details.

Hey Brett,
Another question...Do think that if we do start taking advantage of technology to further God's kingdom...the media will shut it out as soon as we start trying to move forward?
I mean there has been a pattern latley in our culture that whenever Christians speak up the non-Christians blow it out like it were a candle.
I hope that was clear enough...I know what im trying to say better in my head than what i said on this comment.
God Bless!

Lauren, I'm really happy about the way you're thinking through these things. You are right. Non-Christians do all they can to keep us from speaking up and speaking out. However, they forget that it's a free country. They try and reinterpret freedom of religion as freedom FROM religion--namely, Christianity.

What Christians need to do is to become aware of what the laws of the land allow us to do (which is a ton) and then collaborate (this is something else I'm going to address later on) in such a way that we are ready to combat any attacks from the other side.

You see, a problem Christians have is that they start something without the kind of connections they could have (and desperately need to have). Then, they are "squished" because they're vastly outnumbered by the well-connected non-Christians.

Thanks again, Lauren!
