In a couple of weeks time, as part of my church’s ‘Weekend Extra‘ training morning, I’m running a seminar entitled: “Digital discernment: using new technology and social media to the glory of God”.

It’s a topic close to my heart – how to use technology in a discerning manner – neither writing it off, nor accepting it wholesale without consideration.

Here’s my question – what to include? What issues to explore? What questions to ask? How does the Bible help us to think through these issues? I’ve got my thoughts, but I’d love to hear yours. Are there any resources that I should check out on this topic?

Here’s a short interview with N.T. Wright to get you thinking…

God’s Technology is a recently launched video by David Murray that walks through four Biblical principles for approaching our use of technology. I’ve also ordered a copy of The Discipline of Spiritual Discernment by Tim Challies, to help me think through the topic of discernment some more.
