I see people using their computers for many different reasons. Some of the things that I see people doing is getting online. Obviously everyone reading this post has done that, but people use the internet for many different reasons. I see people communicating with relatives from accross the nation, I see people finding information about their hobbies, and I see people connecting to people that they could have never met otherwise. I have on occasion saw pastors and other christians use technology for purposes of spreading the Good News. I know there are many christians that do give their witness online and go into community forums to discuss religion.
I do work hard to fix people's computer, even if I can only sell them a package to have it fixed by a field technician. I know that technology is a new way of life for humanity. It is interesting that with technology, things break; just like the rest of the world around us. I did not really think about this too much until now, but I am actually doing something that my Messiah will do; I am helping to fix this world. I am empowering people to live and communicate and to spread the Gospel; and I am creating an expectation of that great and glorious day when Jesus will come and fix this world and all of the technology in it!
I personally can not think of any greater praise to God then when his people find the things that they are good at (things that God has put in them!) and use them to do good and point that good back towards God! I think that is better then singing any song :) I know that my current profession is not the only profession that God can use and I hope that I can empower my brothers and sisters to use their skills to live in expectation of the coming Kingdom!!
