I get so many crazy thoughts in my head it is hard to keep them straight. But one that has me consumed lately is the idea of a reversal in Christian circles away from technology based advancement. I know, I know...the techies just checked out muttering, "there is no way the church can advance without being technologically savvy." I know that there are a million benefits to blogs, email, web-based giving, sermons online, and all the other things we can access. But sometimes I wonder if we are becoming so consumed with advancing in cyberspace that we forget about the importance of building real relationships with people. I mean, this is all a surreal world where people who have never met me can share some thoughts on some of my ramblings not a real face-to-face encounter where I can genuinely covey just how profound of a life changing experience it has been for me to come to know God and His son, Jesus Christ.
2000 years ago, 12 men (less one traitor) believed in a cause that still thrives today. They never envisioned getting a million dollar book deal or lucrative speaking engagements for their efforts. They didn't care what it might cost them to speak honestly and they were committed to the point of martyrdom. Maybe instead of big business we need to focus more on little relationships of love and compassion.
