It's Getting Hot in Here...

Apparently the world has changed drastically in the last couple of years. For the most part churches could avoid or hide from the drastic leaps in technology that the pagans revelled in, but this is no longer the case.


Now churches have podcasts, and blogs, and all sorts of other words the unenlightened must wikipedia. As a youth pastor I am usually up on the latest, and enjoy scoffing at friends who are just now setting up their myspace accounts.

Then a few days ago, someone asked me if I Twitter. Not wanting to look ignorant I responded by saying that I am a frequent Twitterer, or Twitteree, and could even be considered somewhat of a Twitterist. Then I went straight home to figure out what this person was talking about. I learned I am not a Twitterbug, nor do I have any desire to become one...by the way if you twitter, I am currently typing these words.




So in church this week the preacher is preaching, and everything is status quo, until a person's phone goes off to the tune of "It's getting hot in here, so take off all your clothes."

And I of course thought of all of you. Wait, not because I want you to take your clothes off. That didn't come out right...really, I didn't mean...oh, never mind.

How do you feel about text messaging during church?
