The Internet is God's Holy Pulpit

Sometimes I'll be browsing the Internet, and I come across an essay that seems like an ordinary piece, and one that I find somewhat interesting to read but then, suddenly, they sneak God in. It goes something like this:

The printing press was invented in 1440 by Gutenberg. Do you know the very first thing he printed was? It was the Bible! Yes, though there were many secular, wicked texts being written in that era, Gutenberg chose to print the Bible. He had decided to follow God's plan by spreading God's Word throughout the land. How could we follow this lesson today? When we sit down to write something, what will be our first words: words of hatred and contempt, or God's holy Word?

Ahem. Not that I find anything disreputable about evangelism, but it seems like a bait-and-switch tactic to suddenly turn in such a direction, after an otherwise secular treatise. (Actually, I don't think there were any "wicked" texts being spread back then; only monks could mass produce written works, and they would certainly not be spreading wickedness, but evangelicals tend to make up facts in order to drive home the point.)

Who invented the light bulb? If you said Thomas Edison, you would be wrong. It was actually Joseph Swan who invented the light bulb 7 years earlier. And yet, would either of them have managed to create such a spectacular device if God had not first spoken those words, "LET THERE BE LIGHT"? Who do you think the real inventor is: a human born in original sin, and God and His infinite wisdom?

By my dedication to accuracy, I'm required to say that the light bulb is a very complicated device, and there was no sole inventor. Unless you count God, the inventor of everything.

It's also unfair that I'm making up those two above examples and not citing real articles. The inspiration for this post, unfortunately, came after the seeds had been sown.

But there is one person who never forgets what he has said. Who is that person? Jesus! Jesus is God, the same God who wrote the original blog, the Bible. And Jesus came to fulfill many of His prophecies written in the Scriptures. So let's worship Him together!
