If there is a lack of love in the church today, what happens when we transfer that environment into the digital arena? In other words, is Matthew 18 in effect for our Internet behavior as well?
For example, about five weeks ago a podcaster who’s been on Crosstalk began to slander Ingrid on the Internet as he took issue with some things she had said regarding Rick Warren.
This is an example of what can happen with Christians on the Internet today. We can find ourselves using pejorative language and violent metaphors with Christians we disagree with. At that point our Internet relationships will have taken on a video game type of character where we treat others as though they are nothing more than avatars.
In this edition of Crosstalk, Ingrid encourages people to model forgiveness and
reconciliation, even in the often unpredictable Internet world.
