Mobile Stewardship
One of those statements that I have commonly heard during the past few years has been that people are letting technology control them. To some extent that is true. I believe though that the push to using mobile technology us giving opportunity to take that control back. In simplistic terms, we get back to that point where we are once again excersing stewardship over things in the earth.

However, something that I have realized since being into tech such qs PDAs, blogs and email, is that if not checked, they can be areas of abuse. Paul said in a letter that he could do all things, but all things were not expeident to do. This was not a stastment of bondage, as some would have you believe, but one of freedom. Being thst he realized his freedom from sin because of Christ Jesus, Paul could fully realize what it means to be free, and at the same time exercise the control over things that before he only thought that he had.

In the same way we take tech at its advantages but we don't overdo it (if at all possible). So that the liberty that it gives us is not a noose (blackberry thumb, social networking all the time, always covetimg the lastest and greatest...) but is a mark where we step close to God and to each other, making more effextive the impact of the love of God in close and far areas (Acts 1:8).
