The fact that an electric cord is easily cut, does not mean that the power flowing through it is small. It produces bright and wonderful effects. So it is with preaching. Great power flows through fragile wires of spiritual focus.I agree. Twitter during church sounded like a neat idea, but the more I thought about it the more hesitant of it I was. The sole exception, I think, is possibly note taking, though I find it hard to imagine how good notes can be taken 140 characters at a time. I would have to see this before I could believe it.
John Piper on Twittering During Worship

Contextualization Hurts!
I don't think Timothy was concerned about being cool when he agreed to travel with Paul in Acts 16:3,
Paul wanted Timothy to accompany him, and he took him and circumcised him because of the Jews who were in those places, for they all knew that his father was a Greek.
Whew.
This post is a few weeks late, but I've been busy. As you may know, summer is upon us. This means that my semester has wrapped up. I took into classes to ethics, philosophy of religion, and counseling. I was stretched and well-taught in all three either by how I agreed with the professor or how I differed from them. It is amazing what you can learn from godly men with whom you disagree. We truly all do see now as through a glass darkly, and one day we will see fully.
I take a break from school in the summer. Although this means there is no pressure as far as assignments are concerned, I still feel like I am moving a mile a minute. I am fine with that though, because it means I get to do things that I have problems doing during the semester. I have written for myself a list of things to accomplish this summer. I am hopeful that I will add to this list and get everything on it done.To Do:
