The Usefulness of the Internet

By | December 23, 2005

The internet can be a big time waster for Christians called to redeem the time. However, if used properly, the internet can be a great tool. The internet is a great place to practice discernment and engage the mind. (Romans 12:1,2)

This week, I was able to browse some blogs. Tim Challies, a web designer by trade, has a popular and theologically astute blog. Tim is a layman that is well read. He has reviewed the Amazing Grace DVD and C.J. Mahaney’s Humility book among other things. Did you know of The Passion’s Porn connection? The new phenomenon on blogs seems to be interviews. Tim interviewed Wayne Grudem. Adrian Warnock interviewed Josh Harris about being mentored by Mahaney. I also read some of the thoughts of Phil Ryken, Ligon Duncan, and Josh Harris. In particular, it was interesting to see what people were saying about Christmas and how some churches were not having Sunday worship this Christmas.

I spent some time researching Theonomy. I found a lot of articles and even a sermon series on the “Law of God and Law of Man” by Tenth Presbyterian church. I also heard sermons from SermonAudio.com and churches that I formerly attended at Grove City.
