Technology Can't Replace Love

A fellow Christian shared this video on Facebook. Check it out...


It's an amazing message, isn't it?

The application to family life is clear. And as a father of six children in a technology-driven society, this message hits close to home. In all honesty, there are some changes I need to make.

But this message applies not only to my physical family, but to my spiritual family as well.

It's easy for churches to get caught up in technology. We have our websites, our blogs, our Facebook pages, and even our fancy PowerPoint presentations on Sunday morning. It's easy to pride ourselves on being a "21st century church." We even sometimes criticize churches for being stuck in the past - not having PowerPoint or a good website.

But in the end, what makes a church is not whether it has the technology, but the LOVE!
"But God composed the body, having given greater honor to that part which lacks it, that there should be no schism in the body, but that the members should have the same care for one another. And if one member suffers, all the members suffer with it; or if one member is honored, all the members rejoice with it." (1 Cor. 12:25-26)
 "...from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love." (Eph. 4:16)
