This video from Ok Go is a great example of my faith journey. It's messy and one thing after another leads to connect a lot of dots. I really like this as an example of my journey of faith. Hope you all enjoy it and get as much out of it as I do.

Herbert Marshall McLuhan, CC (July 21, 1911 – December 31, 1980) was a Canadian educator, philosopher, and scholar — a professor of English literature, a literary critic, a rhetorician, and a communication theorist. McLuhan's work is viewed as one of the cornerstones of the study of media theory. Marshall McLuhan in my mind is nothing short of a genius. A prophet and prodigal. This is taken from a brilliant short book called the Medium is the Massage. All media work us over completely. They are so pervasive in their personal,political, economic, aesthetic, psychological, moral, ethical and social consequences that they leave no part of us untouched, unaffected, unaltered. The medium is the massage. Any understanding of social and cultural change is impossible without ...

We have confidence in Jesus Who healed the sick, the blind, and the paralyzed. And even raised the dead. He cast out evil powers and Confronted corrupt leaders. He cleansed the temple. He favored the poor. He turned water into wine, Walked on water, calmed storms. He died for the sins of the world, Rose from the dead, and ascended to the Father, Sent the Holy Spirit. We have confidence in Jesus Who taught in word and example, Sign and wonder. He preached parables of the kingdom of God On hillsides, from boats, in the temple, in homes, At banquets and parties, along the road, on beaches, in towns, By day and by night. He taught the way of love for God and neighbor, For stranger and enemy, for outcast and alien. We have confidence in Jesus, Who called disciples, led them, Gave ...

As many of you may have seen I have working on super exciting project called EasterLIVE. A project that is really centred around creating a way for people to really grapple with the beautiful truths that live behind Easter. And also creating away for people to use this powerful platforms, in Facebook and Twitter, to share the gospel with people who they are in relationships with. I wanted to post some of the most amazing ones for some reflection... Christopher Chiu-Tabet Before I think of my own definition, I'm reminded of how J. R. R. Tolkien described Easter as a "eucatastrophe" Andrew Horton God often works behind the scenes; this time he was centre stage. Andy Frost they thought ...

Henri Jozef Machiel Nouwen (Nouen), (Nijkerk, January 24, 1932 - Hilversum, September 21, 1996) was a Dutch-born Catholic priest and writer who authored 40 books on the spiritual life. I stumbled on this quote over at B McLaren's blog and fell in love with it, its from his book 'A New World is Yet to Come'. "You are Christian only so long as you constantly pose critical questions to the society you live in, so long as you emphasize the need of conversion both for yourself and for the world, so long as you in no way let yourself become established in the situation ...

What does Easter mean to you? Tweeters and Facebook members are being invited to share their feelings about Easter by answering this question on a new Lent twitter feed. Easter (LIVE) will run throughout Lent, bringing together 140-characterreflections from well-known tweeters on Easter. Alistair Johnson, from Cliff College, and Huw Tyler, from Share Creative, have created the Twitter feed as part of the Biblefresh movement of churches and agencies, which seeks to help Christians gain confidence in and appetite for the scriptures. Alistair said: “Easter is the pinnacle of the story of Jesus. In it we see the passion God has for His people. “Easter (LIVE) is an exciting way for people to reflect on the meaning behind the eggs, flowers ...
