Tech and the Church

I'd like to apologize for not blogging in the past few days. It's a bit challenging managing to wear so many hats particularly when the resources (PHCN and the internet) are limited and associated with time. That said, I'd like to arouse your interest in something most of us have ignored for so long.Ok here's something for your viewing pleasure





I sincerely believe technology is meant to be a tool for the use of mankind. The movie above validates this point of mine but it seems the body of Christ is selective on what kind of tech it uses. I was in a discussion with some members of my church on why some of them were not on facebook. I can't imagine any young person not being on this awesome social network. I guess the problem for most of use "believers" is the fact that everyone is on it and evil is perpetuated on it. But The truth is that these things are platforms on which we can interface with the world. Who would pass off an opportunity to reach the world particularly when you've got a product that will better the audience? I just don't get it.

If you've been in Lagos for a while, you may have heard about the event organized two times in the year by Covenant Christian Centre (with Poju Oyemade as pastor) called The Platform. This is an excellent use of technology to advance the kingdom of God. How?

1. The next installment of the program, holding on October 1st, 2011 is going to be broadcast live on TV and the internet.
2. For those who don't know the way, Google maps have been employed for the description to the venue.
3. Once you register you get an sms giving your seat number and registration code.
4. A short video was made to advertise the event

We should leverage technology and use it to improve the lives of others. We should use tech to advance the gospel of the kingdom of God. Your phone is no longer just a device. It's a portal to access the world. Use it well. We need to rethink our methods and presentation. The gospel of the Kingdom is beneficial to all mankind, I think its our presentation methods that are not quite right. I hope to reveal a few secrets on how we can use tech more effectively to advance the kingdom of God. In the meantime enjoy this video.
