Web 2.0

Internet Web 2.0 technology may find its way into the history books as having as much, or more impact on the Christian landscape as the invention of Gutenberg’s printing press in the 1440’s. The printing press released the power of human communications and therefore changed human history, especially the Church. Today, Christians all over the world are fast discovering the power of the internet, which may prove to be a ministry tool that revolutionizes the way we think…and do church for generations to come.

There are right tools…for the right job. Tools are designed to make jobs easy and more productive. Using the wrong tools can oftentimes be counterproductive and sometimes hazardous. You wouldn’t want to use the sole of a shoe as a hammer, nor a kitchen knife as a screwdriver; but the truth is, we probably have. We did it because the tools that we needed; at that moment, were simply out of our reach or unavailable. So, we proceeded with what we had.

The Church would do well to explore the differences between organic and organizations tools.
