The Great Commission

Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age. Matthew 28:19-20 NIV

Young's Literal Translation (YLT) offers a different perspective

having gone, then, disciple all the nations, (baptizing them — to the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all, whatever I did command you,) and lo, I am with you all the days — till the full end of the age.’

In this, we see the 'going' not as a directive, but as descriptive - doing what you do, make disciples. How much 'screen time' do you have each day? My phone tells me I look at its screen for about 1.5 hours a day and I pick it up over 140 times each day, mostly for messages, email, and calendar. My computer(s) don't provide as much information, but I pretty much look at one of them all day long - it's my job.

What if, during that time, I am intentional about living my faith online? How do we do that?
