How do you define Evangelical?

According to George Barna, we evangelicals, aren't quite a theologically cohesive group yet…..Based on the newest Barna Update, one out of every four self-identified evangelicals has not accepted Christ as their savior.
Now I'm a bit confused because for the last 27 years, I've thought it was well-accepted in evangelical circles that it [...]

Blogging at Jason Clark

Posted yesterday (depending on where you are) at Jason Clark's site.  Jason's bio can be seen here but his real credentials come from his generosity towards others.  This has been demonstrated time and again to those who visit his site, as well as to me personally.
To visit, you can go directly or use this permalink [...]

Web 2.0 for Church

Cory Miller, who runs Church Communications Pro, has a couple of great January resources worth checking out.  How he keeps blogging while frozen solid is beyond me.
First this link: 20 Free Web Tools and How Churches Can Use Them from early January.   Although I only use 8 of these 20, Cory's [...]

Footnote.com Makes History

I just subscribed to the brand new archiving resource Footnote.com.
If you're interested in sleuthing through history, this site will give you access to millions of images of original source documents, many of which have never been on the web before.  Even more importantly, it's interactive.
You might find a lot of the currently archived material [...]

Humility in Cyberspace

It's not only a waste of time, but it is scripturally prohibited – online criticism instead of online collaboration, that is.  Using online means to argue theology and create or empower a spirit of disunity is such a waste of the tool that could be used for constructive collaboration purposes. 
Open dialog is valuable until [...]

Hayford in the Headlines

The LA Daily News reports in a January front page article on the ministry of Pastor Jack Hayford, currently presiding as president of the Foursquare Church Denomination.

A man both admired and esteemed, Pastor Jack's credentials include composing over 500 songs, authoring 50 books, acting as editor of the Spirit Filled Life Bible and chancellor of [...]

Electronic Bible Resources

My friend, Jim Walton, over at Church Tech Matters is posting about the Net Bible this week. What a great way to start out the new year. 
Through a series of posts, Jim plans to highlight a variety of Bible Software resources available either online or via download.  I encourage visiting his site, designed [...]

Finally, Five things

I was tagged over the holidays by a handful of people but currently I can only remember Billy Calderwood John Smulo and Fernando Gros.  Although it's well into January I want to respond and my apologies to the rest of you.  Hopefully my highly spiritual blogging friends will demonstrate their profoundly mature and substantial "heavyweightness" [...]

Apple + iPhone = Convergence

This is what it looks like when one is the new many.  Or is that many is the new one?     ….Either way, prepare for the reality of a hand-held church experience from Apple (Guy Kawasaki had to have seen this coming!).
As anticipated, mobile web browsing for the masses, and new levels of media [...]

GodiPod Gaveway

Faithful blogging pioneer from National Community Church in Washington D.C., Mark Batterson, blogged recently in his popular Evotional blog that he would be taking the GodiPod.com site down.  See Mark's post here.
We're very sad to see the site's demise and it was one of my favorite to highlight.  No doubt the concept will soon be [...]
