History of Technology
Theme: There is still Hope
Technology innovation that changed the
course of history
• The Printing Press: 1400’s Gutenburg set up the printing press and published the
first mechanically printed Bible
• Transistors
• Cellular Phones
• Personal Computers
• The Internet
Theme: There is still Hope
• Technology is typically viewed through one of three lenses:
optimistically, pessimistically, and a more central location between
the two.
• The optimistic view embraces technology and sees great hope and promise in
it.
• The pessimistic view rejects technology and brings about a sense of hopeless
despair toward it.
• The central view is somewhere between these views and advocates the
proper and cautious use of technology.

Blessings of technology
• Technology has given Christianity a voice to reach a world-wide
audience.
• 1400’s Gutenburg set up the printing press and published the first
mechanically printed Bible
• William Tyndale translated the Bible into English and had it printed and
distributed in the early 1500’s.
Blaise Pascal, Isaac Newton, and Samuel Morse were scientists who held
Christianity and the Bible in the highest regard. What motivated them was a
confidence in the “rationality” behind the universe and the “goodness” of the
material world. In 1844 Samuel Morse sent the first telegraph message which
contained the sentence “What hath God wrought?”
Theme: There is still Hope
• First, It has greatly magnified the voice of those preaching the gospel.
Instead of reaching hundreds or even thousands when preaching a sermon,
a pastor now has a possible audience in the millions.
• Second, it has enriched the message of the Cross by providing more
information to more people in a shorter amount of time.
• Third, it has increased the number of channels of distribution of the gospel.
• Fourth, it has provided helps for the encouragement, the strengthening,
and edification of the saints through technology tools and discipleship
material.
• Fifth, it allows Christians to administer grace to a world that is distracted
and burdened, by using tools that people are familiar with and expect to
see in everyday contexts.
Theme: There is still Hope
God and Technology
We cannot separate God from Technology. It is a tool that He can use to
advance His purpose.
Collosians 1:16-17 16 For in him all things were created: things in
heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers
or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and
for him. 17 He is before all things, and in him all things hold
together.(NIV)
For everything, absolutely everything, above and below, visible and
invisible, rank after rank after rank of angels—everything got started in
him and finds its purpose in him. He was there before any of it came
into existence and holds it all together right up to this moment.(MSG)
Theme: There is still Hope
The Holy Spirit & Technology
• Bezalel was the first Spirit-filled person in the
Bible
• Bezalel was filled with the Spirit so that he could
accomplish a technological task – building the
Tabernacle
• GOD spoke to Moses: “See what I’ve done; I’ve
personally chosen Bezalel son of Uri, son of Hur
of the tribe of Judah. I’ve filled him with the
Spirit of God, giving him skill and know-how and
expertise in every kind of craft to create designs
and work in gold, silver, and bronze; to cut and
set gemstones; to carve wood—he’s an all-
around craftsman.
(Exodus 31:1-5 MKJV)
• Dutch theologian and statesman Abraham Kuyper once said, “There is
not a square inch
in the whole domain of our human existence over
which Christ, who is sovereign over all, does not cry:
‘Mine!’”
Theme: There is still Hope
Technology That
Blesses The Church
 Send out prayer points
 Validate your Church to enquirers and donors
 Assistance for the disabled in services
 Put complex church information online
 Hold discussions about church life
 Contact pastors, elders and counselors
 Advertise church events
 Network with others
 Make the local church into a global presence
 Share the gospel – locally and overseas
 Provide resources for new believers
Profiting from internet
• Affiliate marketing: you'll need your own web presence: website,
blog, social media platforms, landing pages, sales pages, banner ads,
or e-commerce. But instead of selling your own products, you sell the
products of other companies.
• You just simply drive the traffic and get them to click over to the
companies you are promoting as an affiliate and if a sales is made you
get a commission for referring that sale.
Theme: There is still Hope
• Selling on third party sites: Selling online is to leverage the power of
third-party sites.
• Benefit of using third party sites is that people already trust them and
are more likely to buy off of them than from your own independent
website if you had one.
• Examples include Amazon, eBay, Etsy, Cragslist
Theme: There is still Hope
• 3. Blogging
Theme: There is still Hope
Curse of Technology
• First, it has not delivered on its promise of helping create stronger generations of
committed Christians.
• Second, technology has created a worship experience of isolation and
entertainment rather than one of reverence and participation.
• Third, technology has been allowed to redefine and reshape Christianity to fit
into the mold of our culture.
• Third, technology has been allowed to redefine and reshape Christianity to fit
into the mold of our culture.
• Fourth, we have become a culturally obese society because of the availability,
ease of use, convenience, and affordability of technology
• Fifth, technology provides distractions that draw us away from the main message
of Christianity, the idea of those two immortal things, the Word of God and the
souls of men, coming together to make a difference in this world.
