How Should We Think About Technology in Our Sunday Gatherings?


Listen Later

In a world that breathlessly awaits hearing how the latest technology is going to make our lives better, eaiser, and more fruitful, how should the church respond? In what ways do musical, audio, and visual technologies change us as we use them? Does God’s Word have anything to say to us about technologies that didn’t exist when it was written? Bob, David, and Devon explore these and other questions as they seek to help churches think about and use technology in a way that is both grateful and discerning.

Resources and Scriptures referenced in this episode:

God, Technology, and the Christian Life by Tony Reinke
Digital Minimalism by Cal Newport

“Behold, I have created the smith who blows the fire of coals and produces a weapon for its purpose. I have also created the ravager to destroy; no weapon that is fashioned against you shall succeed.”” (Isaiah 54:16–17, ESV)

 

Questions to ask about the technology you use on Sunday mornings:

1. Is it the least imposing technology for the task?

2. How expensive is it? Can it be fixed if it breaks? Who can fix it?
3. How might this technology benefit and hinder us in pursuing God’s purposes for our gatherings?
4. Does this technology serve in building us together as a spiritual house? Does it conform us to who we are together in Christ or atomize us as individuals?
5. How does using this technology increase or decrease our awareness or our constant dependence on the Spirit of God?
6. How does this technology shape us as a congregation or an individual?
7. What values are fostered through the use of technology?
