We must be present in this new virtual reality or Christ is left out of an entire generation of society.</p><p>Why does it seem we as the church are always so far behind the times?  </p> Okay, so I’m sitting in our ministry staff planning meeting discussing downloadable mp3s and convincing others that media should take a greater role in our ministry…meanwhile people are creating their own realities.  So our challenge as ministers is not whether media should or should not take a greater role, but rather finding a way to use media as a way to reach those living in their own realities, their own worlds, their own little technology box.

And to Amy’s point, you’re spot-on!  In fact, I think I’m going to steal the phrase “our new Jerusalem.”  I like that.  Very accurate.  We as Christians got to get in the game!  Or folks in their own reality will have eternity to pay for our ineptitudes.
