Christians should be on the forefront of using technology for the sake of the gospel. We don’t want to blindly and uncritically move ahead, but neither do we want to miss out on this opportunity. And the best ideas come from getting together.
That’s why I’m excited about the Christian Web Conference. Some of us attended it last year and really enjoyed it, and I’m looking forward to it again this year.
The conference is an opportunity for Christian web leaders and creatives to get together, learn, connect, share ideas, and come out with even better and more creative ways to use technology and new media for the sake of the gospel.
As I look around, I am amazed at what God is doing through the web and new media for the sake of his name. I wonder how much more he might be pleased to do as we continue to collaborate and intentionally get together to learn, think, and dream.
As a side note, I will also be speaking on "How the Gospel Should Shape Your Web Strategy—Not Just Your Web Content." It is obvious that the content we post online should be in sync with the gospel. But does the gospel have anything to say about how we should go about our approach to the web altogether? I think it does, and there are some exciting things to talk about here.
It would be great to see you at this year's conference, April 14 -16 at Biola Univesity. You can learn more about the Christian Web Conference at their website and in their PDF newsletter.
