If you happen to visit a church and the pastor does not use PowerPoint in his sermon, it is okay to raise your fist and yell, "Blasphemy!"
Well, maybe not, but we have gotten used to PowerPoint, haven't we? If there wasn't a warning from God about people altering the scriptures, the Bibles of the next generation would say something like:
"And God gave Moses the 10 Commandments in 10 perfect slides using Microsoft PowerPoint BC."
By the number of pastors who use PowerPoint today, it almost seems that using it was a commandment. But to be fair, using it does have advantages. For instance, people can follow along when dealing with studies of Hebrew or Greek words. Or the pastor can show images to convey a message. But it also has a downside. A lot of people won't even open their Bibles at church because they can just read along in the big screen.
As for me, I'm old school. I'm not a big fan of PowerPoint-Sermons. How about you?

I'm not a fan either...
ReplyDeleteThis isn't even an issue at my church. God gave us a Bible for a reason - it's time we crack it open for ourselves.
