What happens to children who die before they accept Christ?This is a tough one, because it goes beyond being simply an intellectual question. It’s an emotional question, too.No doubt, we all know those who have suffered the loss of a baby or young child. We want to be comforting to them, and we also want to be comforted ourselves.Scripture does not speak to this issue directly, but there are some principles that we can look ...

QUESTION: We are planning a “contemporary” service at our church for February 2009. When trying to reach unchurched people with a new service, is it better to give it a different name (e.g., “Lifestream” or “Gathering”) or to just call it “Contemporary Service?” Which would be better marketing for reaching unchurched people? -Roger :: Oklahoma ANSWER: There is no black and white answer. During the past two decades, it has been popular for churches to ...

Wait. Hold the phone. Don’t crucify me, yet. Allow me to share with you my heart and where I’m headed with that title. I’ll tell you my thoughts on seminary and continued education later on, if you stick to the end. If you don’t read this whole blog and say something mean, you’ll probably look like a jerk. Our Worship & Arts department has 5 interns. 2 college students and 3 Dallas Theological Seminary students. ...

When does the great judgment happen for believers? Before they enter into heaven, or after they have been there awhile? Is there more than one judgment?Many passages in the Bible teach about the final judgment of believers and unbelievers:Revelation 20:11-15 “Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. Earth and sky fled from his presence, and there was no place for them. And I saw the dead, great and ...

My trip to the east coast has elicited much reflection & conversation about pastoring and starting new churches. I met with no less than 3 church planters while there and heard the glories and the “crap times” as one put it. I’m no church planting hotshot but i’ve got invaluable experience on several things that [...]

This is a bit of a follow up to the “What if Starbucks Used Church Marketing” post from last week. Richard Reising, the church marketing author behind the video, had a post on his blog about a scene from the short where the two visitors were driving into the “Starbucks” and noticed all of the bizarre coffee bumper stickers on cars in the parking lot. The couple were a little uncomfortable when they saw slogans ...

昨晚两点睡，早上八点起，直冲食堂，坐上大学城4线，在动物园南站下车，靠着师兄柠檬的帮助，然后又折腾了一个多小时艰难地到达了星坊60。做为穷小盆友的杰出代表，第一次向别人借相片来拍PP，水平和质量都非常差，漂亮MM的PP一张都没有（很抱歉，胆子实在是太小，而且第一次见过这么大的场面，有点胆怯），色狼GG请绕道。 献上一张星坊60正门的图片以做纪念 下面是A场的部分演讲者（孤陋寡闻，大部分的人都不认识，几乎所有的人名字都列不出）的图片，我赶到现场时，和菜头好像演讲完，不知道跑到哪里去了，啊啊啊啊！ 下面是B场的情景（一直没敢进入到里面去坐） 这里场里的三台宽屏电脑，小盆友正在上网着 著名河蟹blogger周曙光 场外热烈讨论的小盆友 今年参加年会的人特别多，首次有了网易（网易的广告做的很大）和新浪的报道关注，由于是第二天才去的，很多好东西都给第一天的人占了，比如说没有年会T恤，没有书可买，找不到几位要联系的网友，另外强烈要求下届年会一定要搞几个漂亮的美女主持来搞搞气氛，演讲者尽量不要搞太多与blog无关的话题。总体上，这次年会办的特别好，感谢辛苦工作的志愿者，感谢给我机会让我见到了现实中的柠檬，周曙光，白鸦，dbanotes,老虎庙，台湾的vista，工头坚，凯洛等。虽然大部分人都不认识我，但我认识你们。 另外我特别想买O’REILLY出版社的书，各位有什么好介绍的没有？ 相关文章2008中文网志年会我来了Hugege.com by 胡戈戈 Copyright © 2008 爱祖国,爱人民,唉派对。 更多精彩欢迎您订阅http://feed.hugege.com 笑话论坛推荐:偶笑论坛 点我注册偶笑开始吹水

Since Christian leaders, especially pastors, are often “wired” for serving others, it’s not really a surprise that online communication technologies can sometimes trick us, tempting us to serve them rather than serving us. No matter which technologies you and your staff elect to use, from Google docs to Yammer, we can probably all agree, the most common and far-reaching culprit in our technological clutter is our out of control email. Contrary to what many of ...

There are still many areas of technology left for children’s ministry to explore. One technology that I am sure will eventually find its way into Sunday school classrooms is interactive tables. Scheduled for a spring 2009 release, SMART Technologies has created a SMART Table for primary education that is similar to Microsoft Surface. Its initial cost is expected to be $8,000. The table allows kids to collaborate together using a variety of tools such as ...

I spent some quality time last night chatting it up with @AdrianRodriguez about design, web, code, life… and we eventually touched upon a subject which is near and dear to my heart: kaizen. I don’t think I mentioned that explicitly in our conversation but I certainly expounded on it (sorry for the soapbox bro!). Kaizen means most simply continuous improvement. I think it should be (is) the mantra of our Christian walks as we continue ...

From On Christian Citizenship, by Curt Smith If government is good, is God???s idea, and is essential to creating an environment for families to bring forth the next generation and for the church to proclaim the Gospel, how come government was used to kill Jesus? How can we embrace government as good when it was the instrument of Christ???s death? There are several answers to such a question, but we cannot lose sight of the ...
