Earlier today I was struck by this post from Seth Godin (yeah, I'm down with the movers and shakers of the marketing/blog world).
Seth writes, in short, that in today's world it's not okay to be ignorant. You can simply look anything up. Instantly. And people know you can.
I wonder how this fits into ministry, especially apologetics.
Any question, since there aren't REALLY any original questions, will have been asked and answers any number of times on the Web. At worst, all you need to do it track down the "solution."
So... How far does this raise the bar for those who, for example, enter a high school to teach scripture?
Is an expectation placed upon them to be equipped with the answers just because they can be Google searched?
If so, is this fair?
