My husband recently posted a blog about the emerging church and a comment the blog ended “The word of God, not power-point or flashy music is God's power unto salvation.” Good point. When we find a fun and exciting method of communication it is easy to get caught up in showing it off and letting people see how clever we are with it. Or not as the case may be. A badly done power point presentation is even more distracting. It is easy in either situation for the Word of God to be completely lost, or presented in such a way that it becomes a side issue for most people watching.
But with practice it is not hard to create a presentation that will compliment and enhance the message we are getting across. As I understand it the emerging church is about being culturally relevant, just as Jesus was in his day. Let’s use every tool at our disposal to make sure that God’s word is presented in a way that the people we are talking to will understand and enjoy, so that what they will remember will be the message and not the messenger.
