Still using a overhead projector

While all the rage today is using a power point for sermons etc....
We still use a overhead projector for our services along with Hymn books.
Now my point isn't that we don't have power point... But our people still use their bibles when I am preaching.
And this I BELIEVE is vital for Christians to know.

It's interesting the comments that I get from visiting people of how its nice to see bible's used in church's because there's have been replaced by power point.

So I wonder as we 'progress' and no longer need the use of our bibles what's next to go ?

I believe its hard enough to get people to feed on the bible so not bringing their bible to church would make it all the harder.

As I think about this I guess I'm a little more old fashion in some of my church thinking, and while studying up on the dangers of the Emerging Church - I would not want to have it any other way than being old fashioned.

Good point. I just wish I wasn't the one that always has to change the overheads!
Of ocourse with feelings like this you'll probably flunk your course!

We use video projection for our songs -- and for a while, I was doing that for my sermon too -- but quit, because of what you're talking about. I want my people to bring their Bibles to church and to open them.

We're reading through the Bible together -- and it's great to hear the pages turning as I'm pointing out various passages of Scripture.
