in our life where we can actually have a
clear opportunity more clear opportunity
to hear the voice of God
[Applause]
my dad got to tell on him just a little
bit he is technologically challenged
what I mean by that is even now in this
year of Our Lord 2020 he still does not
really know all the nuances of
Technology every advancement sort of
goes over his head and you know I can
sympathize with him because I’m a little
bit the same way I’m not really into all
of the new advances of technology I
can’t quite keep up well he’s been this
way all the time so much so that you
need to know that my father who many of
you know is a pastor he’s been preaching
in in this community for 44 years or so
my he and my mother started the church
when I was very very very little brand
new actually they started the church and
so they’ve been preaching and teaching
and shepherding God’s people for a long
time Dad continues to and just to give
you a little bit of an inkling on where
he stands on technology still to this
day my father writes down all of his
sermon notes on one of those yellow
legal paths ads you know the ones that
come bound together at the top and you
sort of just write down on all of those
lined yellow sheets of paper my father’s
got those yellow pads laying all over
the house he still does not type not a
one note he writes them all by hand to
this day well his lack of knowledge in
regards to technology isn’t a new thing
early on years ago I remember maybe 15
years ago or so when there were no iPads
yet you know it wasn’t as advanced as it
is now but about 15 20 years ago I
recall something that happened my dad
really wanted to figure out how to get
online but the only reason he wanted to
get online is because at the time my
youngest brother Jonathan was playing
football for Baylor University he wanted
to get on the Baylor University website
so that he could look up his youngest
son John John who was playing football
for Baylor and if you know anything
about my dad he may not be about
technology but he sure is about that
football and so with his youngest son
playing college level football he won’t
do every everything he could to look him
up so at the time my sister was at the
house and so he called Crystal back into
the guest room the fourth bedroom of our
parents home back there
20 years ago back in that room there was
a whole monitor that was sitting on the
desk there with a keyboard but he really
didn’t use it so he said to Crystal
come back here show me how to turn this
thing on so when I tell you that they
were starting from scratch I mean they
were starting from scratch my sister
came back to the back room and she said
dad let me show you where the on button
is so you will know in the future how to
turn this thing on once they got it all
powered up then my dad said to her how
do I get to the Baylor homepage so she
showed him how to type in the URL
address so that you can get to the
website that you want to be on so
finally she got him to the Baylor
homepage and just when they got to the
home page the phone rang Crystal had to
run out of the room into the kitchen
where the phone was plugged into the
wall and so she raced out of the room
and as she raced out of the room my dad
yelled after her how do I maneuver
around this page she said back to him
use the mouse
so
daddy starts looking around for a mouse
he had no idea what in the world she was
talking about he of course lays Eyes
Upon This little Gadget that’s got a
tail sticking out of it he assumes this
must be the mouse
so he picks it up places it flat on the
computer monitor and begins to drag it
up and down side to side on the actual
computer monitor then when that didn’t
work he just held it up in the air and
was sort of just moving it around in
midair my sister came back to find our
fairly bright stable father waving a
mouse around in the air here’s what you
need to know that computer has been in
the fourth bedroom of my parents house
for a long time he also has a laptop
that someone gave him and it’s you know
folded and unused in the drawer of his
desk at his office there’s also another
computer monitor and a keyboard that is
in his office space at the church so my
point is he has computers available to
him he has technology available to him
but technology does you no good
unless you know how to use it
having it available is not enough you
gotta know how to use it
for the next few moments I want to just
encourage you let’s preach and more just
teach and talk to you about the
importance of us as God’s people not
just having God’s word available to us
but knowing how to use it
listen to me more now than ever before
as our culture continues to be
increasingly Godless
you and I are going to have to know how
to do what the psalmist said
I hide God’s word in my heart so that I
might not sin against him we got to use
God’s word it’s not enough for us to
just have
