By Shewanda Riley – (Source: www.dallasweekly.com) – A few years ago, I had a conversation with a friend about how someone she knew bragged about using an app instead of going to church. Since my friend was an active churchgoer, she could not understand how you could get the same sense of spiritual intimacy with God by using a smartphone. She explained how she could see how using digital and live streaming services could provide a way for those who could not get to church because of work, illness, or another reason to enjoy the worship experience. Fast forward to where we are now and using social media as part of worship has become the norm.
