Well, this is the first installment in my new Blog. I is amazing to me how quickly this technology has taken off! It doesn't seem like it has been very long since we didn't even really know what the Internet was. Now, we can't seem to live without it. I hope this will be a place that I can share some in site to what I have learned about technology in general, and specifically audio, video and lighting. Especially in a worship facility setting. I know some people think we don't need all this stuff in church, but I firmly believe that God has allowed people to invent, create and develop all of this technology, so why wouldn't we, as Christians, use it to glorify Him? I know it's not church like we "used to do it", but a few years ago I would not have been sitting here typing on my computer either! I think there is a fine line between using all the gadgets to enhance worship and letting it become a show. If we get "showy" and forget our mission, then it is time to shut it all off and refocus on what we are in ministry for in the first place. Please feel free to ask me any questions related to audio, video, lighting, or ministry in general. I will try to answer any questions in future blogs. If I don't know the answer, I will do my best to find someone who does!
