A Theology of Google, Facebook, Amazon and Twitter

We use Google to try and feel omniscient like God. God knows all things, and with Google we feel like we can know all things, too.
We use Facebook to try and feel omnipresent like God. God is in all places at all times, and with Facebook we feel like we can be present everywhere, too.
We use Amazon to try and feel omnipotent like God. God can do all things effortlessly, and with Amazon we feel like we can get anything we want with a single click.
And Twitter, well, Twitter is just the devil.

ian – Ha! Good one!
Yes….and we have made these techonoogies our modern idols, gods and offering them or precious time, resources.
Your sermons are powerful
In God that we serve all things are possible
Was looking for commentary on Ps 131 (found a wonderful one here in your pages!) and saw this post. Ironically, Ps 131 is the antidote for this 🙂
MBrown – You know, that is a really good point!
Hello and praise God. pastor Isaac Ibongia from Nairobi Kenya I’m happy to have your teachers and in need to have the theological school in Kenya and more so in our church. please you are giving good teaching.
The distinction you draw between using these platforms and being used by them is helpful. When tools become the lens through which we see ourselves, they stop being neutral instruments.
