I had a really interesting conversation with some lads from church on Sunday afternoon which really got me thinking about how I veiw Christian living today. The funny thing is the conversation with these guys was not about something deeply theological but about advancement in technology. We were wondering how quickly we would become like our parents and loose contact with the technological world, when will things advance too quickly for our generation to keep up with? Even right now I am sitting in starbucks writing this post from my iphone and this blows my mind, this is just the tip of the iceberg I feel in my soon to be technological aliniation. My dad still feels the best way to refer to the home computor as 'the machine' which brings up conitations of something that starts with a crank handle and will puff out steam.
This shift in age to technological know how got me thinking about how the mainstream Christian opinions towards certain points have changed so much. My example point would be dating, a few years ago I did quite a lot of research about dating over the years in the Christian world and the secular. I think there would be loads of evidence to say that secular people from 100 years ago wouldbe pretty shocked at how we go about dating not just in a secular sense but in the Christian circles too. What's changed in that time to so radically affect the way in which we look for partners?
I've learnt so much from people older and way wiser than me and it frustrates me to see people either not getting that or rejecting it.
After having our chat about technological advance the lads from church introduced me to a game called settlers... AWESOME!!! So much fun, a pretty geeky game but so much fun! All I have to say to end is, "does anyone have any flippin' wheat for a sheep?"
In Christ
