Technology, Theology, and Anything In Between

I’ve found a much better site than MySpace. Well, it is better for my purposes anyways. Go to LinkedIn for social networking. It is a resource mainly used by professionals to network with each other. Many recruiters hang out there, and sometimes use it to find people with specialized skill sets (like me, I guess). [...]

I read some of this in Bible College. Amazon.com has a reprinted copy. You can find it here.

I started to read No Rusty Swords by Bonhoeffer today. I think the premise is that the state of the world and ethics in Bonhoeffer’s time was such that the old ways of thinking were becoming unusable, and new ones would be needed. The “rusty swords” idea was based on the story of Don Quixote. [...]

At our church, the choir sings “Before the Throne of God Above” just about every year. It is a favorite among those in leadership. Get the lyrics here.

I was thinking about Pascal’s Wager this morning, and thought about a disadvantage to it. I guess someone already had the same thought. What I was thinking of was along the lines of “If God does exist then I haven’t lost anything”. I think this was presented once in an evangelistic sermon I heard as [...]

This actually became my morning message instead of Sunday School lesson. It was very well received. We had a good time yesterday. I certainly feel like doing pulpit supply on occasion is what God would have me do for now. Maybe I’ll post my sermon outline.

For several reasons, I’ve decided that I needed to get a new, quieter server. I switched from a rackmount system that is loud, to a much quieter tower. Now, of course, the problem is migrating everything and keeping all the Active Directory information intact, and the Exchange mailboxes, etc. I decided to purchase the Swing [...]
