Just Some Comments
Greetings all;
Hope that many of you are having a good and blessed go of things. Here at MMM, we have been one part busy in gearing up for the upcoming holiday, and in another part looking at the way we use mobile technology as a means to minister, and help others minister.
A (slightly) informal poll of the MMM team shows that many of use have a laptop as our main means of mobile tech. Some of us use smartphones, and a few of us have a combination of devices that we use to both communicate and facilitate communication. Because our usage patterns are so diverse, we look for those pieces of mobile technology that would be relevant to those uses. Sometimes that is smartphones (me, I am on one nearly all the time), other times that is software or a service that works online no matter what device that you have. The point is that we look to meet you where you are accessing tech, and want to give you tools to glorify God with it.
A rule of sorts then sounds like this:
"using technology is a matter of personal preference, but the fruit has to always be God glorying"
Sure, we can have music and data on our PDAs, but it's always more to the point of ministry to serve the community with those things.
So, do be thankful for MMM. I personally appreciate the MMM team and everyone of you who come here to read and learn something about mobile tech and ministry that you never thought of, or thought of but just found out that others think like you. But don't let things stop here. Take the Gospel to those who need it, and if tech is your gateway, make sure people meet Christ at the gate.
