What We Can Learn from Roman Roads?
They were technological innovation of their time. They afforded the Romans access to far flung territories for the purpose of conquest. As a result untold 1000’s suffered and died under the jackboot of despotic emperors such as Nero and Caligula. This is what they were designed and built for. At the same time they were utilized by the apostles to spread the gospel and bring that same empire to its knees at the foot of the cross.
The Internet (the Information Superhighway) is the technological innovation of our day. Through the internet, evil, debauchery and tyranny find a platform of communication through which untold 1000’s have suffered and died. At the same time the internet can be utilized by modern day apostolic communities and individuals to spread the gospel and bring our generation to its knees at the foot of the cross. Upheavals such as the Arab Spring and other grass roots political insurrections give evidence to us of the power of the internet to bring about systemic, fundamental change in our world.
What are you using the internet for? I say to you that you are a steward of a mighty instrument of communication to do more than post pictures of kittens or inappropriate material online that you would never do in person. In the first century God raised up a nomadic community of faith that spread the fire of the gospel to the far flung capitals of the world. In our day God is raising up A DIGITAL SPIRITUAL COMMUNITY – fervent in heart, passionate in spirit who will take what the enemy uses for his purposes and turn it to the good of the kingdom as an instrument of evangelism and proclamation of the coming of the kingdom of God. This your mandate sir! This is your mandate dear lady. Rise up and connect with other like-minded believers and seek God for the creative, innovative ways to MILITATE for the gospel on this mighty information superhighway that we might see in our day the establishing of the kingdom as Paul did in his day!
