Electronic ministry is like "serving tables" (Acts 6). But even more essential b/c IT IS proclamation. Time consuming & tiring.
GOD'S WORK
I believe I said several years ago that I would put electronic ministry (audio, video, computing, social media, publication etc.) along with evangelism, missions, music, education, as a primary ministry department in the proclamation of the word.
Today the need is greater, and the time of usefulness is probably numbered. The tools and avenues and needs are greater than ever before, but the attack on Biblical proclamation and ministry is more prominent, and greater resistance and oppression to Christ and His Church are on the rise.
In fact, now is the time for every Christian to be
Filled with perfecting graces,
Abundantly producing the Fruit of the Spirit,
Empowered by the indwelling Spirit of God,
Actively exercising the gifts and talents and skills, and abilities endowed by the Holy Spirit.
John 4:34-38 (NASB 1971)
34 Jesus said to them, "My food is to do the will of Him who sent Me and to accomplish His work.
35 "Do you not say, 'There are yet four months, and then comes the harvest '? Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look on the fields, that they are white for harvest.
Romans 13:11-12 (KJV)
11 And that, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep: for now is our salvation nearer than when we believed.
12 The night is far spent, the day is at hand: let us therefore cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armour of light.
