The Challenge of Social Networking for the Church

In the first wave of media, it is the Christians who were on the forefront in changing the culture of the world. It was the printing of the Bible by Gutenberg which paved the way for this first media revolution.

The second wave of media was the television and at first, it was pervaded by the Christians who shared the Gospel in the mainstream. It was just eventually pervaded by secularism and humanism when the Church started to recede from being aggressive in spreading the Gospel through TV, movies and films.

Today, the current wave of media which by so far the fastest and the most effective is internet and social networking. Will the Christians take advantage of this vast and fast way of spreading the Good News or will we stay in the sideline? Think it over.
