Redeeming Twitter Theology

I just got through reading a wonderful, thought-provoking essay (okay, okay, a “blog post”) from Ryan Reed entitled “ReconsideringTwitter Theology.”

Ryan's warning against trying to do theology on twitter is a marvelous example of what I think it means for Christians to engage the tools that technology has given us . . .

Rather than uncritically accepting the tools and someday finding that they have become just another idol, like the bronze serpent Moses lifted up in the wilderness (Go here for that story) . . . the gospel demands that we take a more thoughtful approach.

So how can we bring the Gospel message to the world of twitter-speak without seeing it twisted out of true?
