GodTube Raises $30 Million
GodTube, a faith-based YouTube of sorts, has raised $30 million at a
$150 million valuation. The funding comes from GLG Partners, a hedge
fund. It is not GodTube’s technology that sets it apart but rather
that the service caters to a very specific yet huge audience.
Bad Commercials
We’ve all seen them on TV or during the previews at the movies.
Visually, there is a major disconnect between the visual aids and
the message or the marketing department must have just experienced
major cutbacks, because what was once supposed to be funny is now
downright offensive. This is TV. So how bad does a commercial have
to be to be a “bad commercial” on the radio?
Dealing With The Reality Of An Immortal Soul In A Mortal World
Our church recently experienced the loss of a dear sister, Cyndee
Luque, to cancer. At her funeral ceremony, there were over 500
people in attendance to pay respects to their respective friend,
spouse, mother, daughter, co-worker, cousin, sister, and ministry
partner. What a beautiful picture of a person who lived their life
with conviction and devotion to Christ and how extensive her reach
was with the love of God. The troubling part is: how do we, as
creatures with an immortal soul, deal with a mortal situation like
death?
Kids Say The Funniest Things
A friend of mine sent me a handful of statements made by children
with regards to the Bible. I hope you enjoy! Here is one example
regarding Lot’s wife - The Sunday School teacher was describing how
Lot’s wife looked back and turned into a pillar of salt, when little
Jason interrupted, “My Mommy looked back once while she was driving
and she turned into a telephone pole!”
How Churches Are Using Evolving Technologies To Minister
A new study by The Barna Group looks at how Protestant churches
across the nation are using various forms of emerging technology to
influence people’s lives and enliven their church experience.
However, the study reveals that the pace of technology adoption
seems to have slowed in the past two years as some churches focus
upon making the most of what they already have, and other churches
attempt to get by without incorporating such tools into their
ministry mix.
I may not be able to change the world I see around me, but I can change the way I see the world within me. [John Maxwell]
A true physician makes incisions only in order to effect cures, and a wise minister excites painful emotions in men’s minds only with the distinct object of blessing their souls.
[C. H. Spurgeon]
If you have courage, you will influence people based on your convictions. If you lack courage, you will influence people based on your comfort zones. Courage will take you anywhere you believe God is
leading you. Without courage, you will go where you are comfortable. [Wayne Schmidt ]
