Two love birds named Jessica and Kenny are set to get married without ever meeting face to face.
They fell in love online through a foreign language-learning website last year.
Jessica, an 18-year-old from Brazil, had listed that she wanted to learn English and Dutch, but was initially skeptical when Kenny, 23, reached out to her from Belgium to talk.
But he quickly convinced her, and she soon fell in love with him from afar and hey haven't stopped talking since.
She even finds herself "sleeping with the webcam on."
"Laughing and talking about everything and nothing, we started knowing more and more of each other," she wrote last month on "Love9000km Away," the couple's blog chronicling their relationship.
According to many you can live online.
Ready Player 1 shows a future where everything is done in a virtual world
Church
What about going to Church?
Kingdom Way already streams our messages on Youtube, facebook, twitter.
live
We’re working towards being able to stream our entire service.
When is 40 below and 10 feet of snow or you just don’t feel like getting out of bed
just turn on your phone and your in Church!
And if you don’t like what one preacher is saying or the music the worship team is playing
simply switch to another page.
There’s 1000’s more out there to choose from.
The truth is you can do alot of things online, but would you really want to do everything?
I’m not going to speak to the other issues I brought up. to each their own.
i think there are some real advantages to to using the internet to make like simplier.
not having to deal with traffic, or the weather.
spend an entire day in your pajamas
home is comfortable!
But what I want to focus on is should we use the internet to meet our Church going needs?
Why is it still Relevant to get together on Sunday?
In this day of technology where most people have more computing power in their phone that NASA used to send astronauts to the moon.
Does it still make sense to get together on a Sunday?
Afterall
You can watch online
You can give online
You can interact online
Well there are things God expects of us that we cannot do well online.
When we take a look at how the early church functioned we get a perspective from
I would consider this the essential basics of what a church is called to do
1.
Teaching
I don’t pretend to be the best preacher, but I do believe God uses me to share His heart with His people.
Yes there are many better teachers/preachers.
There are Pastor who have entire teams working for them to prepare the best messages.
You can go online and hear many great preachers.
But the difference is the messages God gives me is for the people of this Church in this season we are in.
there are 1000’s of possible messages you can glean from the Bible
Part of the challenge of every Pastor is to preach not only the right message but also in the right timing!
It’s not as easy as just standing up on a stage a regurgitating someone else’s message.
It takes time to seek God’s face and discover what it is He wants to say to his people.
This month I am celebrating 25 years of ministry in this Church
I can’t tell you the number of times early on in my ministry, I would prepare a message, stand up to deliver it and God would tell me that’s not the right message for today.
I want you to share this instead.
It was frustrating, but exciting at the same time
I have dozens upon dozens of sermons I’ve never preached because I didn’t understand the timing.
2. Fellowship
Another of the primary reason to gather together is for Fellowship or if you like a modern word community
Is rather challenging to service a community online its often too impersonal
A community means your part of something bigger than yourself
that you have a role to play that you can accomplish
and that you are better together
One of the primary things we are called to do in community is we serve together to meet the needs of one another in the community,
Ill: Barn raising
We are also called to reach out beyond our community to serve those on the outside
Service
This is something that takes personal care and attention.
You must be involved in your service.
you can’t get someone else to do it for you like getting someone to pick up your groceries
In order to serve one another, it takes time, resources, skills & abilities that you must first be willing to contribute.
And this is God’s expectation of us.
That we learn to serve one another.
Not to get anything for ourselves, but to give to others out of the Blessings God has given us.
