Technology changes so fast, it’s easy to get overwhelmed. Not only does technology change quickly, but as it gets newer, it seems to require more and more of your time. It’s nice to carry your calendar or be able to send email from your phone, but sometimes it can feel like a bit too much when you’re connected…

Is Google God? Columnist Thomas Friedman posed this question in The New York Times in June of 2003. Quoting the vice-president of a Wi-Fi provider, Friedman writes that “Google, combined with Wi-Fi, is a little bit like God. God is wireless, God is everywhere and God sees and knows everything. Throughout history, people…
It’s a busy, busy world. The culture is chaotic, your city is bustling, and your life can roll along at a break-neck pace. Sometimes we excuse being so busy. You have to pay the bills, right? Author John Busacker probably agrees, but he also says the mantra ‘busy is better’ is baseless: Busacker has written the…
You don’t have to spend more than 5 minutes watching TV to discover that Christianity, people of faith, and traditional values are not things that Hollywood tends to embrace. In fact, it’s usually the opposite – Christians are often portrayed as bumbling bible-bangers, holier-than-thou hoity-toites, or…

It just looks nothing like he thought it would.…

Sometimes I feel that way, too, but then a problem comes my way that I wish had an easier solution. I shared on my facebook page : “I…

Last summer, someone made a wise observation that has stayed with me for weeks – the Church responds swiftly when there’s an acute, immediate need. Food drives are organized, candlelight vigils spring up across the community, and every person feels a call to get involved and serve the hurting. Then we drift from…
If you want to understand what Easter is really about, this song from Chris Tomlin “At the Cross (Love Ran Red)” really sums up best what really happened when Jesus gave up his life for all our sins.
