Andy Sochor writes, “Whether we like it or not, professional athletes, like other celebrities, can have a big influence on the thinking of people in society. This announcement will only further the efforts to normalize the practice of homosexuality in people’s minds. In light of this news, it is important that Christians remember a few things.”
Gary Henry warns, “Just as agitation gets in the way of carefulness, pride gets in the way of worship. Nothing in the spiritual life is more important than awe and utter respect before God, and so if pride hinders us from being reverent, it’s a deadly danger to our souls.”
Scientific American reports, “You and I can access billions of Web pages, post blogs, write code for our own killer apps—in short, do anything we want on the Web—all for free! And we’ve enjoyed free reign because 20 years ago, today, Web inventor Tim Berners-Lee and his employer, the CERN physics lab in Geneva, published a statement that made the nascent ‘World Wide Web’ technology available to every person, company and institution with no royalty or restriction.”

Are we raising a generation of deluded narcissists?— “A new analysis of the American Freshman Survey, which has accumulated data for the past 47 years from 9 million young adults, reveals that college students are more likely than ever to call themselves gifted and driven to succeed, even though their test scores and time spent studying are decreasing.”
Mark Roberts suggests five questions to ask of your New Year’s resolutions (sermon audio).
Mashable reports that tablets will outsell notebooks for the first time ever in 2013.
Gary Henry rightly warns us about substitute satisfactions: “The deepest longings God has given us are longings that must be fulfilled. They will not be denied SOME satisfaction. If we’re not richly nourished by the Bread of Life, we’ll be driven to pick up whatever crumbs we can from the world.”
The newest issue of THINK Magazine (January-March 2013) is now available online.

Looking to Launch Your Own Blog?

November 26, 2012 — 1 Comment

Launching a blog has never been easier. I’m frequently asked about recommended resources and Cyber Monday seems like the perfect day to pass a few along.

Since 2007, I’ve used WordPress as my blogging platform. As the engine for 1 in 6 websites on the Internet, WordPress has become the king of online publishing.

If WordPress is the engine, themes are the vehicle. In very simplistic terms, your theme is what gives your blog its “look.” Of the thousands of themes available, I highly recommend the Standard theme. I’ve used it for the last 6 months and wouldn’t dream of looking back. Gary Henry recently transitioned WordPoints.com to Standard and seems to be very happy about the switch. Added bonus? Standard is 30% off for Cyber Monday if you use the coupon code BF2012.

Michael Hyatt suggests 7 rules for more effective slide presentations.
Ken Weliever inquires, “What drives you?” “People and churches who are driven by God’s purpose have no time for the trite and the trivial. They are willing to give up attitudes and emotions that stymie their spiritual growth. There is a great work to do. Rid yourself of destructive forces that are driving you in the wrong direction. God’s purpose beckons.”
Stephen Altrogge suggests, “You’ve really only got two options here.” Keep your eyes fixed on circumstances or keep your gaze fixed on the Lord.
Barnabas Piper asks, “Is Twitter narcissistic?”
Justin Davis encourages you to buying into the lie of a few months from now.
Joshua Becker explores the opportunity of limited curiosity. “We would be wise to limit our curiosity. We simply don’t need to know all that we want to know.”
