My pastor says there are two kinds of knowledge the Bible talks about: divine knowledge and demonic knowledge. People who can use the Internet to cause entire systems to crash whether in houses or countrywide have destructive evil knowledge used to cause chaos. Knowledge that edifies, encourages, and uplifts is divine.
A positive example of the Internet being used for great purposes is a networking opportunity I recently received. While on my myspace page, I discovered a fellow author who is also featured in the Refined by Fire series I was in. We struck up a conversation about self-publishing and ministry, and soon became friends.
I was able to give her insight into some things she was researching, which she appreciated. Later, God put it on her heart to do a 365-day devotional featuring devotions from several women authors, ministers, and speakers. She approached me about being in the book and after getting some information and praying about it, I said "Yes."
I was excited to see how professionally the project was being handled: conference calls, meeting minutes, contracts, and manuscript guidelines. The whole thing seemed infused with the spirit of excellence. Several authors gave suggestions for a book title, and I had the honor of mine being chosen!
The devotional is geared toward women, and is scheduled to release during the Christmas season. I'll give you more information as it becomes available.
All this came about because of doing some networking, seeking to share and work together with like-minded people so that we could both move forward in what God has for us.
I just praise God for providing networking and friendship opportunities that are forwarding the ministry. When we use knowledge in a positive and godly way, great things can happen!
