Hey Friends,

It is easy to bemoan the sins and potential evil of the Internet. I will confess their are plenty of ways to sin electronically! But, instead of cursing the darkness let’s use the tool for the greater good. I HATE how Christians are always blaming, hating, and pointing the finger at everything and everybody: why not  use all we have to accomplish the will of our Father?

Last Saturday was my birthday and I received more cards than ever before. (Thanks for the prayers and birthday wishes!) Not because more people love me, but because I have tried to be more open to technology and the Internet. This has opened up a whole new world for me – and a good one. I can’t count the cards and prayers that came to my facebook (won’t you be my friend?). I now blog and twitter. We at FPC now have two internet campuses and people are connecting to Christ and His Church.  The list is huge. 

I believe if the Apostle Paul was doing ministry today he would be on the Internet daily. Wonder how many friends he would have? Let’s use every tool available to advance the cause and Kingdom of our Lord.

Here are some ways we can reach out together via E-Ministry:

1. Follow me on Twitter. I don’t understand it either…..

2. Check my blog daily for a spiritual vitamin. You could also link to my blog and let others know about it.

3. You could link to my website http://drchrisstephens.com where my book is available. I would ask you to let people know about it. I believe it can help many.

4. Download the daily devotional on my web-site. It is a 90-second biblical thought for the day. You can podcast it also.

5. You can Twitter, facebook, and connect to all of the above tools.  I would ask you to do so to help get the word out. 

6. Link your website to FPC’s site.

The Devil has used everything at his fingertips to hinder and hurt us – time to strike back and expose the darkness.

Yours to count on, can I count on you?

Pastor

P.S. As I start a ministry to encourage and empower church leaders across the country I ask for your prayers and participation. Together we can make a huge difference. Someone has to do it; it might as well be us!
