So your child just got a learner’s permit. Do you just hand her the car keys and say, “Good luck?" Not likely. You will make sure she gets proper instruction and you’ll spend hours in the passenger’s seat, helping her navigate the streets and highways of your town. There will… [more]

Steve Jobs - modern prophet?
Harold Camping, the would-be San Francisco Bay prophet, wasn’t all wrong. Late October 2011 brought Judgment Day to this world, but not as he predicted. No earthquake or rapture was required. God didn’t even need to show up to do the judging. We’re judging our own culture through debate over… [more]
What would Jesus like?
Facebook has become a bigger part of my life than I ever would have imagined before I signed up. It’s allowed me to learn a bit more about some people who I only know casually and to keep in contact with people far away. One thing that fascinates me is… [more]

A lot has changed in worship since technology entered the scene. Some of it has been overt, whereas other changes have been more low-key, as in the case of offerings being received.

Christian wisdom and navigating SOPA/PIPA's muddy waters

Should Christians use Amazon's Price Check app?
Tanny Thank you for putting into words exactly why I'm uncomfortable with how much time I (and others) spend on the internet, watching TV, etc. It's not that we've lost the ability to have conversations, it's that it's become easier to see real people as just another image to consume.

Should Christians use online pseudonyms?
