Don't we as Christians already live in the real world or have we become so besotted with the internet that sitting on our comfy seat in the comfort of our own little sanctuary is now so preferable that it has become the norm and our own little 'Christian' world? All safe and cosy except when others disagree and we must beat up the keyboard as our only form of protest.
Believers prior to the world wide web seemed to manage and all of us over 50 can still remember those days when waiting upon God included waiting for the postman bringing the good news!
Maybe we need to stop relying so much on downloading and using technology to read the Bible ? A library of real books and a good old battered KJV will do us all good if those plugs are pulled.
