Well now, thats the challenge isn't it ?

In this world, the good that outweighs the bad IS the church.

In the individual the good that outweighs the bad is "He that is in
me" - Praise GOD!

In the antichrist kingdom being wired up today, the good that ought to
outweight the bad is the salt and light of God's people. But thats
about it. :)

Some made some comments about becoming Amish... thats a little far
fetched. Apostolics have no such inclination, though there may have
been a fledgling period when this was possible, or some remote people
so inclined. 

I mentioned this earlier, for interested parties, the UPCI has already
addressed the matter of coping with new and developing technologoes
with a position paper in 1988. Thats really nothing more than
guidelines for thinking and a place to start. it is real good, but it
perhaps a little inadequate.

For example, it makes 3 categories:
1. Technologies embraced without reservation
2. Technologies usable with reservation
3. Technologies which appear to have little or no managable use.

The paper uses the examples of Computer and Telephone to describe
category 1. Some protest but video is put in category 2, and broadcast
TV and movie going illustrate in category 3.

I would say that some of this begs personal consideration by every
person who has set out to live for God.
