Technology And The Use Of Technology In The Church

Preaching to a Post-everything World offers several contributions to the art of preaching. New ideas and concepts facilitate sermon design and construction; while at the same time a fresh perspective was given to old ideas and concepts. Eswine’s work added to the discussion of expository Christ-centered preaching as well.

In the middle ages it consisted of many things that took much power in the church. It is called that in the Middle Ages the period from the fall of the Western Roman Empire, in 476 AD, to the discovery of America, in the year 1492. During this period the political, economic and social life revolved around to the possession of the land. This period is known as the feudal period. Many landscape data from its protection to forms of communication were very interesting at that time. It is very important to recognize all these ideas that remained in the Middle Ages. Things like the ports were consolidating their commercial importance, especially at the end of the middle ages, the important technological innovations that were developed. The communication was made by means of human beings and animals. It was very common for the main roads to be guarded, due to frequent assaults. Then as the construction of the castles were developed and established in those times. It is very interesting how they maintained all these things. I also cannot forget how difficult and how important was the work of the church and its power. The Pope was like the ruler of the people and was a higher point of the emperor. Seeing how important the power of the church was in this work and comparing it nowadays. It is seen that now the church is for those who follow it and not many people see the importance that remains the church and the power of the Pope. I would still like to try to understand how the power

"The Kaiser Family Foundation last year found that school-age kids spend an average of 7 1/2 hours a day in front of a television, a smartphone, or another digital device"(Rosen).

I think Church’s have major responsibilities to communicate the gospel message. We need to remember that it was God’s kindness that saved us. Church’s shouldn’t focus too much

In November, Liberty Hill grabbed a hold of the social media vision and set up its very first Facebook page under the administration of Rev. Johnson. On this page members get a daily dose of the living word, prayer, testimonials and praise reports. In addition to Facebook, the word of God is being shared via text messaging each day. This outreach effort has been a blessing in so many ways. The word of God states in Isaiah 55:11, “My word that goeth forth out of my mouth, it shall not return to me void……but it shall accomplish that which I please…” To God be the glory!

Talking of the number of the “unchurched” people in Northern America alone, there has been an increase of compared to the 15 percent increase in the general population. Large churches which used to be filled with multitudes of followers in the 1950s currently have a small fraction of their initial capacity.

Missionaries from the Mormon Church will go from door to door talking about Jesus Christ while holding a book that looks very similar to the Christian bible. These missionaries in their evangelical style believe that “teaching all nations” comes from spreading the Gospel door to door and even from country to country. Missionary, and evangelical work seems to be the cornerstone of the Mormon Church. The hold true that many of their converts and members to this religion come from the missionary work. These Missionaries accomplishments are performed throughout the world, with one thing on the missionaries’ mind, teach faith, repentance, and baptism for the remission of sins.

In the book, “Breaking the Missional Code,” Ed Stetzer and David Putman lay a foundation for church leaders and pastors to break the missional code that has caused so many churches today to decline or worse, shut their doors. It is not easy to grow a church because there are many factors that have to be dealt with when dealing with people. This book does a great job to connect the dots in showing how churches can achieve their mission to connect the message of the gospel with the community at large. It is also evident that others are equally frustrated, following the exact same model for outreach but with lesser results. The authors go to great detail to show that just because a missional breakthrough occurs in one place that does not mean

Technology. It’s a very controversial topic. But, Research shows that most Americans rely too much on the internet and is making them less smarter and socially inactive. It’s incredible how much technology has advanced in less than a century. Advancements in technology have improved our way of living. Yet, it has many effects that can be short term and long term.

Since the beginning of time, the way that people, communities and churches deliver the word of God has evolved into a global multimedia event. Now days the word of God is being delivered in many

The church now a day has changed drastically from how churches functioned then. I would say there has been a big change in speech. The church has seemed to focus mainly on personal problems such as Depression, Mental Illnesses, and addiction. Which Is still very important to our current world. But some social issues it has strayed away from that are serious problems. Such as gender orientation and identity. This is a complex issue but even if Christianity disagrees it must be shown more love and caring too. Because it seems that most people in this category has strayed from the church

Therefore, I am a millennial. I am 17 years old, and I enjoy incorporating authenticity and technology into the way I learn about my faith. I enjoy the no judgement policy, the music during worship, and the handy Bible apps just like others. While learning about my faith, I want no judgement from leaders and fellow Christians. Reverend Matt Blakeslee, pastor of CYMK, opened up and said "we have to create a space for doubt" and "for questions" and "we have to create a space where all the answers are not in a nice, neat package." Blakeslee says, "it's OK to struggle." When people are accepting like Blakeslee, it makes me want to grow with God and it helps me to know that nobody is perfect and that it's alright to mess up. That is the stress free environment us millennials thrive on. When it comes to technology, music and apps are the millennial generation's go to elements. According to professor Dan Hargrove, we "like a blend of worship through music and speakers," and he is exactly right. Music keeps us interested and having the message through a beat will make us want more. However, music is not the only form of technology we use. Having a physical Bible is great, but Bible apps are more handy. "It's a lot easier to carry my phone around," says J.D. Lenz. I couldn't agree more. Simplicity is key for us. Keep it simple to keep us interested. Since I am a millennial, I am

The authors mention that "young people use digital media to connect to information, to entertainment, and to connect with each other" (93). When using media to engage emerging adults, I would think in terms of these three applications of digital media: information, entertainment, and social networks. Of course, churches should use all possible media channels to inform people about their existence, values, and faith practices. Faith communities are supposed to be "googleable" on the Internet. Since I am bi-vocational (work in the IT field), I had an opportunity to be personally involved in designing and building the websites for several faith communities that focus on younger generations. Even though informational media needs to be inclusive,

As long as there have been people in this world, technology and science have existed. Technology is a powerful force which helped in the development of civilization and is a part of our system of culture that reflects its values. Technology has become very complex over the years and today it is known to be a social enterprise that includes all aspects such as research, design, finance, manufacturing, labor etc.

The development of technology has brought many Halakhic (Jewish law) challenges and decisions. However new technology will help with learning, research, determining Halakha, and making effective decisions.
