TECHNOLOGY
Technology isn’t new.
"technology includes all tools, machines, utensils, weapons, instruments, housing, clothing, communicating and transporting devices and the skills by which we produce and use them"��@ Read Bain (1937)
Bishop’s Bible
First Edition 1568
Queen Elizabeth’s Copy
We should never invest in technology�for the sake of technology.
"a means to fulfill a human purpose"�-- @ Brian Arthur (2009)
"an activity that forms or changes culture"�-- @ Albert Borgmann (2006)
TECHNOLOGY
A charge to keep I have,
A God to glorify,
A never-dying soul to save,
And fit it for the sky.
A Charge to Keep I Have
To serve the present age,
My calling to fulfill:
Oh, may it all my pow’rs engage
To do my Master’s will!
Why technology didn’t (and won’t) destroy the Church

DISCIPLESHIP
What Christians Get Wrong About Discipleship
by Ann Swindell�
Relevant Magazine
August 1, 2014
Jesus called us to "make disciples of all nations," but what does that mean?
Go therefore 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 that I have commanded you…
Matthew 28:19-20A NRSV
Immersive Experience: FOLLOWING & TEACHING
“Discipleship is relational, and to fully respond to the Great Commission, we need to�be disciples who are making disciples�of Jesus.”
