Tony Reinke: God, Technology, and the Christian Life

God, Technology, and the Christian Life

Crossway, 2022

By Tony Reinke

WHO: Tony Reinke, host of the Ask Pastor John podcast and a senior teacher at Desiring God.

HE SAYS: “Science can never deliver us. Innovation will never satisfy our hearts. Life’s meaning will never be found in Apple’s latest gadget.”

THE BIG IDEA: This book seeks to dismantle 12 common myths Christians often hold about technology.

THE PROGRESSION: In six chapters, the author examines the relationship between technology and faith.

“God ultimately controls the start and pace and end of all human innovation. Whether we trust the Creator in these areas will determine how we face an uncertain technological future.”

The Timeless Whisper’s Been Here All Along

To a world on edge, defensive, and hurting, Christians have a responsibility to not only listen to God but also to speak Good News in a way that can actually be heard.

How to Leverage Existing Ministries for Outreach

“You could launch new outreach ministries without removing any existing ministries, increasing your budget or adding staff.”

Doing Unto Others

Davis maintains that ministry shouldn’t be about serving at church on a Sunday morning, because those people are already saved. Instead, it should be about doing ministry on the mission field and talking to people who are unchurched.
