Christian Ethics in a Technological Age, by Brian Brock

Christians have often used technology—from electric guitars to Power­Point presentations to blogs—in the service of witnessing to their faith. The sequence of technological advance seems to go something like this: 1) a new technology is introduced; 2) it takes off in the "secular" world; 3) eager pastors and churches keen to be relevant seize upon it in whatever way possible.

But do we really need to keep up with the next new thing to remain relevant, even as new things are developed and sold every week or so? I used to think so—until the array of new technologies began to leave me feeling dizzy and hurried.

Dizzy and hurried aren't words the Christian life should engender. Yet technology exists and has done some good. How should Christians respond?
