The same God. A new generation.
They create photo albums on Facebook and post home movies on YouTube. They use their phone as a computer, camera, debit card, GPS, and television. They maintain relationships with hundreds of people they will never meet face-to-face. To the older generation, this might look like a superficial, technology-driven substitute for real relationships. But in reality it is a workshop on knowing others and being known.
The Google generation, with its passion for relationship, connection, and community, is positioned to bring new life to the church. Leonard Sweet argues that TGIF-ers (those who connect through Twitter, Google, iPhone, and Facebook) may be living out God’s mission and the Jesus life more authentically than any recent generation.
