A core principle of the backlash against the social messaging service Twitter—or are we up to the backlash against the anti-backlash now?—is that shorter messages are dumber messages. Twitter constrains messages to a mere 140 characters, and critics say it just puts another dent in our insect-like attention spans, and our ability to think and [...]

Have you ever felt called to pull the plug on your blog, Facebook account, Twitter feed, or any other online social tool?
In the last week, two prominent Christian bloggers announced that they were turning off the lights on some of their online networking outlets: Mark Oestricher is done with his popular blog, and Anne Jackson [...]

When I saw this chart (which I found via my TC colleague David Ker at futurebible) I could hear the alarmists worrying out loud: Using cell phones and blackberries in church! Is nothing—or no place—sacred anymore? It reminded me of this article on how [...]

I was a Twitter skeptic before I was a Twitter convert. Why, exactly, do I need a more efficient method of delivery for the mundanities of other people’s lives? I only got hooked on Twitter – which, for the uninitiated, is basically a mini-blog – through some of its other uses: dispensing quips, bookmarking links, [...]

There have been several posts of interest recently about the Lord’s Prayer. In addition to the bloggers, many of the commenters are chiming in with excellent ideas:

Kevin Sam: The Lord’s Prayer is in perpetual error
Rich Rhodes: What does the Lord’s Prayer mean?
Doug Chaplin: Kerfuffles over the Lord’s Prayer
Damian Caruana: The Lord’s Prayer: Prayer or framework [...]

David Ker has already introduced himself, but I just wanted to officially welcome him. I’ve been reading his primary blog, Lingamish, for the better part of a year now, and am very pleased to have him on board for what we’re doing at ThinkChristian!
Jump over to lingamish and check it out if you haven’t already.

My name is David Ker and I’m a new contributor here at Think Christian. I’m a missionary with Wycliffe Bible Translators working in Mozambique, Africa. I have been a long-time reader and admirer of Think Christian and have found the “intersection of faith and culture” format to be really compelling. A couple of weeks ago [...]

Not sure how I managed to miss this, but there’s a Christian bloggers Facebook group, set up by Andrew Jackson of SmartChristian. It’s already got over 400 members—and even if you don’t join the group, the monster list of Christian blogs on the group’s page is well worth perusing. It’s interesting to see the blogs [...]

I like Jon Acuff’s writing a lot. His little (huge) blog Stuff Christians Like has been one of my favorites of the past few months.
Also, he’s a machine of a blogger, often cranking out multiple quality posts a day. He makes the rest of us bloggers look terribly lazy.
One of his [...]

“Sometimes I am afraid to say that serving in ministry is not always a joy.”
“I don’t like Beth Moore Studies.”
“I wish I could believe God more, rather than just believe in God more.”
“i’m a pastor so I would really get in trouble for saying this. . . but sometimes I just don’t like people. not [...]
