Discipleship In An Internet World

I was reminded to share the learning that I had gathered during our training time with Bill Hybels and Wayne Corderio last year.

Here’s a short one to help us…

In our internet world, we can and should use technology for content and information sharing. However, the key element of impartation still need to be done live (or life!) Life-on-life impartation cannot be technologised.

Truth is that people are not coming to church services, care groups or meetings for information collection; much information can be gathered in the cyberspace. People go to these events to get life impartation. They want to know that the persons sharing the information are really living it out in their lives and their lives have really been impacted for the better.

Authenticity is best imparted when we are near. Thus, we may be able to impress from far (or in the cyber realm) but we only impact when we go near.

Let’s harness the best of technology for the sharing of information and content while doing life together for impartation and impact.
