Proclaiming your Christianity in the digital age
There's no doubt that computers and the internet have changed
our lives drastically. We can communicate with everyone,
everywhere, in a way we could not have ever imagined just a few
years ago. These technological innovations give Christians an
overwhelming amount of new opportunities to spread the word of
God.
One of these opportunities lies within every Christian's grasp
and could be utilized within minutes. Just take a look at the
computer you're using right now: whether you're in a library,
school, at work or home, chances are that you're not the only
one using the computer you have in front of you. The first thing
people see when they start up their computer is a desktop
wallpaper, which most likely contains a tiled texture or a
Windows logo if they have left it in the default state. You can
replace that with an exciting picture with God's scripture on
it, sitting their at your desktop, visible to everyone who uses
your computer. Just visit a website that offers Christian
wallpaper, such as http://www.ccdb.nl , find the picture you
like and click with your right mouse button on it to show a menu
from where you can choose to set the picture as your computer's
wallpaper.
While it may already be very common to place your own picture as
a wallpaper, it's still a very powerful yet underused tool for
Christians to tell others about God's message. It will
guaranteed raise some eyebrows, initiate conversations and
encourage Christians and non-Christians alike. Gone are the days
where you just stare at a boring Windows logo.
