An Analog Life in a Digital WorldSample

Technology helps us: Teach

This letter to the church in Rome is an exceptional piece of teaching, yet Paul had not yet even visited the Roman Christians! Many biblical scholars regard this letter as Paul’s finest work, and it was actually the book of the Bible responsible for Martin Luther’s instigation of the Protestant Reformation. Amazing! Such a powerful dissertation that did not require a firsthand relationship with the Romans.

As we said yesterday, that's the beauty of technology – it connects where distance divides. Today's digital technologies make it even more possible for us to provide biblical teaching to people all across the world. Think about the number of people who were able to stay connected to biblical teaching through the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns. Think about the underground churches in Africa and Asia who can access helpful Christian resources online. For the first time in history, it’s possible for the gospel to enter any home with a Wi-Fi signal. Praise God for the possibilities available to us!
