Christian Fellowship In The Internet Age
There is a lot of buzz in the Christian community about the effect the Web has on ministries. Web ministries are consistently congratulating themselves on having the ability to reach massive numbers of younger people who they would not have been able to speak with before, all with the creation of one or two straightforward websites. There is something to be said for this kind of Christian witnessing. It actually is helpful to be able to talk to people thousands of miles away, spreading the word of Jesus without even having to leave your own house. Something is lost, however. Christianity, you see, isn’t simply about preaching a set of doctrines. It is about Christian fellowship joining with fellow believers in a righteous community devoted to spreading Christian values.
Christians recognize that the most important relationship is between the worshiper and God. No Christian Fellowship can make up for not having accepted Jesus, and if you do except the Lord you will be saved even if you don’t spend any time with fellow Christians. You won’t nevertheless , be doing much to spread the gospel of Our Lord God. You see, we’ve been a community since the start of our faith, and we were planned to be a community. Christian church services, Christian youth groups, and other conventional assemblies are a few of the paths in which we have been able to keep an eye open for each members spiritual and physical well-being. The internet is superb for speaking, but it’s no good for maintaining real Christian Fellowships.
Even a modern church should not only use modern methods of Christian fellowship. Just because the new ways of preaching help reach the younger generation does not imply the old ways should be discarded. You can worship Jesus from in front of your computer, but you should also worship him with other followers. For some, Christian Fellowship may begin with the Net, however it can’t end with the Net. Christian ministries need to spread the gospel of God in the world, and followers need a community around them to help them remain true to God’s path. Only in that way can we make certain that a church stays powerful and true to its beliefs. On your own, it is so easy to evangelise one thing and do another. With fellow followers nevertheless , you are more likely to be held accountable for your actions.
