As a techy pastor, I do often find myself at a crossroads between the two natures of technology – the often purely utilitarian aspect, and then the perverted and distorted use of it. We’ve all enjoyed the standard movie plot of a man trying to protect his invention from being turned into a weapon.
Scott McClellan at Collide Magazine just posted an article about the opposite – when wayward technology is redeemed for God’s purposes. You can read it here. It’s a cool application of scripture that got me thinking.
Scott speaks of the day when it will all be redeemed. I can’t wait for that day either. But, with the Kingdom being both now and then, people like Scott are already redeeming that technology as they serve the Kingdom with it.
Saw your post via Twitter — thanks for the kind words, Hal!
Your post got me thinking, bud!
(P.S. it’s “Herb” not “Hal” – but it’s ok LOL – I actually get that a lot)
