A tweet from Church Marketing Sucks really stuck with me this week. It said:
"People use technology all week long & then go to church on Sunday & return to the 14th century."
It's sad, but it's true. Churches these days seem to be filled with people who know lots more about the Good News than they do about iPads, Facebook, and Twitter. But hang on a minute - wasn't the church at the forefront of developing and propagating the written word? Didn't the church help spur on the development of the printing press?
Jesus said: "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you." (Matt. 28:19-20, emphasis added).
The way I read this, we're commanded to use every tool at our disposal to reach and teach lost souls for the glory of the kingdom.
CNN.com ran a great video about a church that's really doing well in the social media sphere. The question is...what is your church's goal, and how will you get there?
