Hey Gang,

Larry Norman was a pioneer in contemporary Christian music.  He had a hit song, “Why Does the Devil Have All the Good Music?”  A great question!  Today he doesn’t, the Devil that is.  So in the area of the Internet the same question could still be asked, why does the Devil have all the great tools?  The church seems to always lag far behind the world in the use of current tools.  There are some great tools available to us that can transform lives, big time!  One is the Internet.  Yesterday at Faith Promise Church we launched an “I-campus” or better known as an Internet campus.  It is a place where people can log on and watch the entire service.  They can chat with a pastor and even pray to receive Christ.  The church today still seems so slow to use tools that the Devil has been using.  He seems to own the Internet as a tool to destroy; he uses the Internet for porn, theft, and many other devious acts.   Now we can redeem the tool.

Yesterday, a family in Knoxville logged on and watched. They quickly got dressed and made it to our next service and were at Discovering Faith Promise Class last night.  How cool is that?  God will use anything to reach people that need Him and His Church.  Let’s get serious about the Great Commission and use EVERYTHING at our finger tips to touch and transform lives.  Realizing the importance of tools, I  twitter, blog, facebook, and have a web site.  I have down- loadable daily devotions and the weekend messages of FPC on the church’s web site for people to go back and view.  Now people can E-vite their friends to watch FPC at home and later come to a service.  YOU can also tell friends around the world about it.  Service men and women around the would can be a part.  The sky is the limit!  WE just have to have the faith to march off the map in pursuit of people that need Jesus or encouragement. 

Tools that transform lives – let’s use them!  What do you have that you can use for the Kingdom of God?

Love ya,

Pastor
