Steve Pixler - Technology and Dominion - Must hear

As many of you, Bro. Steve Pixler is one of the most brilliant minds in Pentecost. He recently preached in Calgary, Alberta on "Technology and Dominion". I am listening to it now, and it is very interesting. It is almost 2 hours long, although he is such a good teacher that it doesn't seem that long.

There is also other messages that he preached at that camp.

I'm starting to listen now and am intrigued.

I will give my "feedback" after it is done or I feel I have the gist of things.

He starts getting into the gist of it about 40 minutes into it. He lays a big foundation. But you have to listen to all of it, to get the whole picture.

Is there a Readers Digest version?

Wow...... He explains the difference between internet and TV in a very powerful way.

Folks, I just finished listening to a message that every Apostolic needs to hear. I encourage you to listen to it.

I'm nearly done, but there are some serious issues here.

For one he makes many good observations about technology but makes enough errors as to be dangerous.

The whole thing is an ant-TV rant -but made to sound much more deep, at least during the first half.

To sum up the first 30 minutes. Gold is good, but the golden calf that Israel made is bad. That is the gist of it.

TV = the golden calf, and is irredeemable.

Sometime during the middle he makes a very good point that "apostolics" shouldn't copy the world but lead the world in talent, art, inventions, and every other definable skill. So why didn't he then promote higher learning to accomplish this? In one hand, his type of thinking doesn't encourage imagination and creativity yet imagination IS what is required to achieve great things.

hmmm... I note that so far, those who would tend to agree with Bro. Pixler's view are unable to sum that view up.
