In the beginning, God created…conversation.<\/p>\n
In the opening scenes of humanity\u2019s existence, God established two necessary conversations: the conversation between God and humans, and the conversation between human and human. As we read in the Bible and as we know from history, our communication with both God and each other is broken\u2014but not irreparable.<\/p>\n
Technology has advanced our ability to communicate, both in depth (we can have conversations instantly without waiting the arrival of letters or telegraphs) and in breadth (we can communicate with almost anyone at any time), but it has also brought with it many complications.<\/p>\n
Our screens have changed society. There are studies that show some of this change is for the worse, but know this: we can invest our time rather than merely spend it. When we employ God\u2019s design for communication, we will reflect Christ whether we\u2019re on social media, sending a text message, or writing an email.<\/p>\n
What if we repurposed our use of technology as a springboard for godly conversations? Can our screens help us be more connected to Jesus and His mission? What would the world look like if we truly followed God in the digital age?<\/p>\n
Keri Armentrout has been on staff with Cru for over 20 years as a discipler of students, national conference speaker, social media consultant, and writer for Cru Resources.<\/p>\n
