In Ephesians we find that light (religious truth) is described as very powerful as it is able to make dead things living just by shining on them.
But when anything is exposed by the light, it becomes visible, for anything that becomes visible is light. Therefore it says,
“Awake, O sleeper,
and arise from the dead,
and Christ will shine on you.”(Ephesians 5:13-14, ESV)
However, this is no direct quote of any biblical passage, so I imagine Paul simply puts it in his own words to apply it to the context. But what is ‘it’; what scripture is he paraphrasing here which fully suits the context? Why is it an appropriate verse to quote in this context?

#BibleTech 2018 just proved it is very much possible. What is the ortho anglican take on digital ministry theology today?

I don’t know if anyone has given it special thought. The issue is of proper apologetic for the age.

Good point. You have used your blog well

I found this article to be quite insightful! The discussion on how every major religious tradition, including the Amish, has an online presence highlights the transformative power of technology in ministry. According to Pew Research, a significant percentage of Americans use the internet for religious purposes, which indicates that digital platforms can facilitate spiritual growth and community engagement (Pew Research Center). Additionally, the ability of churches and religious groups to reach wider audiences through digital means is a testament to the adaptability of faith in modern society. It’s fascinating to see how even traditional communities like the Amish are finding ways to connect with others online without compromising their core values. This shows that embracing technology can enhance ministry rather than detract from it.
