I know a number of married couples who met on eharmony. The interesting commonality to each is that once they got married, none returned to an online relationship. They knew being together was better than being virtual. Similarly, some pastors and church leaders are finally beginning to publicly express concern about the effectiveness of live stream-only services. They also know being together is better than being virtual.
Make sure you check out The Church Irreplaceable: Why God’s People Must Gather, Why Live Stream is an Epic Fail to the American Church, and Church Attendance Is Dying. What’s Next? along with my other top posts from last week.
