One of the dilemmas facing the church is that we seem to be swallowed up in competition. Instead of reaching out to a lost world, we compete for members. We must stop being competitors and become innovators. Innovators look for better ways. Innovators cultivate a creative mind-set.
Competitors react to trends and fads Innovators predict and even create trends.
We must become better innovators and discover new ways to minister. To be an innovator we must know and use technology to its fullest extent. We must move from striving to thriving. The Christian church needs to develop a flexible attitude toward technology and maintain its inflexible attitude towards theology. We must develop a dichotomy that allows us to be on the cutting edge of technology and still maintain our strong commitment to the eternal authority of the Scripture.
