My Story
Our stories are all different, made up of experiences, trials, failures, and victories. This blog is my story, in part, about my life in Auburn, AL or where ever else God leads me. My passion is for my faith and my family (Deb), I enjoy music, cycling, sports, photography, social networking (Twitter @scottfillmer, Facebook, LinkedIn, LaLa, Last.fm, Vimeo, YouTube) and all aspects of the tech world. I am currently the IT Director for Cornerstone Church (disclaimer), a freelance photographer (flickr), and a seminary student at Liberty University working on my Master of Arts.
My Take on Ministry and Technology
I have been in technology fields in one way or another for more than 15 years, about the same length of time I have been a believer in Christ. Throughout the past 15 years I have tried to find better and better ways to combine both ministry and technology. Ministry and technology should flow together seamlessly but sometimes, we the church, are slow to adapt ways to make that happen, and the greatest message in the world, the Gospel message, looses its effectiveness through an outdated or poor presentation of technology.
If technology is going to be used by the church it should be used in the most current and effective manner possible that rises to the standards of the rest of the world, not lagging behind. My goal in ministry is to continue to strive for such an effective use of technology in the church that it becomes seamless and almost unnoticed where the greatest message ever told in history will be the only thing that stands out.
