The Internet age.

Is the Internet Evil?

Ty Rice 2006

250,000 that’s the number of new members Myspace gets a day. There has been a lot of buzz in the recent days about the potential danger of the Internet, and the predators that may be lurking there. This bad media has caused a lot of people to be turned off by the use of Blogs, Chat rooms and some people the Internet all-together.

                No doubt if you live in the United States you have heard about the member of homeland security facing charges of solicitation toward a minor. These types of activities carry on everyday over the Internet and should not be ignored. The internet has also made porn, explicit music, violent images and video, as well as many other destructive materials easily available to not only our youth but to the public in general these are things that can negatively effect all of us. So is the Internet evil? Should we refuse to use or allow our families to use it, the answer is of course not.

                The internet much like the TV and the radio must be used responsible and parents need to watch and monitor there children’s use of it but to call it evil and ban it, is to throw away a lawn mower and cut grass with your teeth because the lawn mower can cut off your foot, it is just silly. The devil knows the potential that lies within the Internet. We can talk to people all around the world simply and easily by pushing a couple of buttons. The devil is scared of that kind of power because the last thing he wants is us banning together and sharing Christ all over the world. Take Myspace for instance 250,000 new members a day. Now imagine if we could come together and get the word out in such a way that 250,000 new people a day were joining a site completely devoted to sharing the Gospel and worshiping God. It could happen. On my small website that is only promoted by word of mouth I have had visitor from: The United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Netherlands, Germany, South Africa, Ireland, Australia, Uruguay, Sweden, Jamaica, Vietnam, Turkey, New Zealand, Kenya, India, Malaysia, Faroe Islands, Switzerland, Guatemala, Taiwan, United Arab Emirates, Norway, Hong Kong, Israel, and Brazil. If it was not for the Internet it would cost me many thousands of dollars and hundreds maybe even thousands of hours to get to all these places to share and encourage all these different people in all these different places. We have at our hands a very useful tool which when used properly can glorify God all over the world.

Please help me to encourage others and to spread the Gospel by copying and pasting this message which includes at the bottom of it a link to my site, and send to all your family and friends, lets try and bring in 250,000 people a day to fellowship together putting God first always.

Please copy and paste this message and send it on. Or forward it on. This is not a chain mail it will not bring you a great fortune it you send it on. But perhaps it could bless someone else and I pray that my website will get to many who don’t know Christ or are not walking with Him and it can encourage them to do so.
