Summary: “What we have seen and heard we proclaim to you also, so that you too may have fellowship with us; and indeed our fellowship is with the Father, and with His Son Jesus Christ.” 1 John 1:3 Wherever you are—home, work, restaurant, school, airport, church—just stop and notice that most everyone around you is likely staring at some kind of screen. It might be a smart phone, tablet, laptop computer, television, or video projection. There is no doubt all these screens have exponentially increased the amount of information, entertainment, and communication (electronic) that we desire, but is our addiction to them ruining one of the purposes of the church—fellowship? Is all our staring at screens creating a self-centered, solitary world where we don’t interact in person with other believers? “Fellowship in the Church” was just one of the many messages given by noted pastors such as John MacArthur, Albert Mohler, Mark Dever, Steve, Lawson, and others recently at the Shepherds’ Conference in Los Angeles (free audio of general sessions here). This weekend on The Christian Worldview, we will highlight some of the key messages at the conference including the one about fellowship in the church and whether screens are taking away from believers sharing in each other’s lives.
