Wow, Brett...Very good, very convicting... :o |
|
Great article!! I'm just puzzled about the TV's in bathrooms...weird. |
|
Technology has given us the ability to become more active in our cultures than ever before, but it seems like people have chosen to become more passive instead. |
|
Excellent article, Brett. This blog has been an extraordinary encouragement to me to spend the little time I have on earth doing things that will reap beneficial fruit. |
|
That's insane. That needs to change. |
|
That was a really refreshing article, Brett. It's weird, when I think about it, I really can't imagine a life without internet, television, music, etc. It's easy to see why our whole nation is "distracted". Love reading your blog. |

Just when it was getting good, "to be continued" ???? URGHHHHH! GREAT read! My pastor, Matt Chandler, (www.thevillagechurch.net) just talked about Christians' inability to still themselves to hear God's voice with all the iPods (yeah, I have one too!), radios, televisions, digital satellite, etc. |
|
Actually, call me crazy but I've been able to hear God's voice better through technolegy, I mean we still need to make time to read the word and pray, but my main source of fellowship is over the internet, I've also been able to reach out to many people and be involved in ministries that I wouldn't be able to without the use of the internet. |
|
I'm really excited to see the rest of the article. |

It is hard to get away from computers especially (everything else I don't really get into much)....but with my job, my computer is with me almost 50% of my day. I'd love to get away from it more. But then it is addicting in ways. I find "computer fasts" a wonderful invention. (Vacations help with that). |

Brett...once again an excellent post! I am so glad you have addressed this issue. Its so interesting (and unfortunate) to see how our societys creative juices are running low. I mean look at all the opportunitys that God has given us. First just take a step back from a screen...and out a door. God has given us a playground through His creation...camping, sports, hiking, fishing, sledding etc. There are also so many things that we could benefit from if our eyes and ears were not engulfed in all this technology. There is reading, playing music, spending time with family and friends...and so many other activities. Think of all that technology has taken away from us. Writing letters has transformed into emailing and instant messaging...spending time with family has transformed into watching TV...playing board games has transformed into spending hours on video games. The list goes on and on. Like you said at the end of your post, technology isn't bad...but we have to use it in smart ways. I think technolgy provides a lot of opportunitys, but we also have to remember the opportunity we have been given outside of everything that is electronic. |

Great post guys! It's sad to see how technology has taken over, but I still enjoy the old-fashioned things! :) I chrish my moments of peaceful and reflective silence, and still write many letters! It's wonderful to see you both take on the issues so many teens face today. Keep it up! |

Haha, having that quote at the top freaked me out. I was using the regenerate our culture blog network, and this was at the top. The Rebelution: "So, I was watching Sex and the City last night..." |
