About Glad Tidings!
Jesus said His disciples would be ‘fishers of men’. The church is now poised to reach the maximum amount of ‘fish’ than ever before in history! Churches can now become adept at using a net that our ancestors never could foresee. Disciples can now securely and more efficiently attract the most amounts of ‘fish’ AND provide a rapid method for communicating with one another…for the least amount of money.
By the early 1900’s the use of the telegraph, Morse Code, movie theatres and the telephone provided efficient methods of getting your message to larger groups of people. In the 1930’s, the use of radio and bill boards came into being. By the 1950’s, a television came into its’ own.
The issue before any church has always been ‘how to most efficiently become known and their message seen.’ The absolute best methodology is the one-on-one encounter. Churches are relational organizations and need to keep their message personal. And while this remains the top ‘hook’, the introduction of the personal computer (PC) and the internet have once again changed the information landscape.
