Clear
back in 1996, I upgraded my computer so that I could write and exchange email.
It was about as big a leap for me in communication as when I got my first typewriter
for high school graduation. I now right and send pour gramar and multitudes of
missppelledd words all over the world faster than ever befour! :-) (Yes, the mistakes
were intentional.)
There are side effects though. I am having trouble with handwriting
since I am not using it much, and I have a hard time sending "snail mail" through
the post office. I just hate to think it could take a day or more to deliver my
message!
Proper communication is so important. Paul wanted to make sure the
Thessalonians knew they should keep communicating with other believers. He wrote
"Greet all the brethren with a holy kiss" (1
Thessalonians 5:25-28).
Whether you feel comfortable with a "holy kiss", handshake or
hug is up to you. But the important thing is that we communicate our genuine love
and affection for other believers. We are part of a family that crosses all racial,
social and geographical boundaries. Someday we will join together to share eternity
with other followers of Jesus Christ.
The Lord wants you to have a little taste of Heaven now. Greet
others in a holy manner. Let other believers know you really do care about them
like Jesus wants you too. Don't let the technology of communication take away
from the exhortation from the Lord to connect with fellow believers.
