Mobile Ministry Magazine (MMM)

Text, Tech, and Understanding

Thursday nights are spent with a group of brothers with food, conversation, and a Bible study. One of the more interesting things coming up lately has been the use of smartphones (and an iPad) during that study. There’s been some cross-pollonating of tech understanding in the midst of that. We’ve talked about Bible versions, Bible applications, and even understanding the right times to pull out print/phone versus conversing from the heart. It has been really decent to see.

The challenge is crafting an understanding of the text without being dependent on the tech. And I think that even with print we have an issue in doing this. So, I wonder, before injecting MMM’s stance on things, do we place too much of a value on the resources, and being able to find the answer via the resources, versus knowing the text in our heart, where the resources supply only the accessory evidence?
