Twitter has proved to be a useful means of communication in the aftermath of the China earthquake. The article rather briefly describes the ways that Twitter is being used to spread news and updates in the disaster area more effectively than traditional media channels.
When Web 2.0-ish tools like Twitter come along, it’s always tempting to [...]

Another item to file in the Cool Internet Tricks department: Bible Geocoding. Most notable is a Google Earth map of every location from the Bible; you can click on a location to pull up the Bible passages in which it’s mentioned. Pretty nifty.

Very useful the next time you want to trace a Bible story as [...]

Have you read the old Jack Chick evangelism tract Somebody Goofed? BoingBoing today is talking about an amazing animated version of the tract:

The animated version was created in 1997 by Syd Garon and Rodney Ascher; the BoingBoing post has some additional links and commentary. The animation is weirdly compelling and a bit creepy in a [...]

Where have you found God today, and where do you need to find Him? Other6.com is a rather nifty website where you can report “God moments” and ask for prayer for particular needs you have today. You can comment on other people’s reports/requests, too.
The concept behind the site is to highlight the presence of God [...]

Keith Green was one of the most popular contemporary Christian musicians in the late ‘70s/early ‘80s. He and 10 others (including two of his children) tragically died in a plane crash in 1982.
I had the privilege of interviewing him for a music magazine. He was truly a musical prophet, a musical genius with a rough [...]

What’s that, you say? Christian rock that’s actually good? It exists, according to Daniel Radosh. Although Radosh identifies himself as a secular Jew, he’s put together a list of what he considers the top ten Christian rock songs—songs that, in his words, don’t “reduce all expressions of faith to crass evangelism, anodyne praise, or crypto-romance.” [...]

Here’s your inspirational story for the day. Julio Diaz responded in an unexpected way when a mugger demanded his wallet:
He was walking toward the stairs when a teenage boy approached and pulled out a knife.
“He wants my money, so I just gave him my wallet and told him, ‘Here you go,’” Diaz says.
As the teen [...]

Steve Case is one of the funniest people I know. He’s written a lot of brilliant, cutting-edge youth ministry books for Youth Specialties.
Apparently he has some kind of pent-up angst and wrote the book most youth and children’s ministers have wanted to write at one time or another – Rejected Sunday School Lessons: Totally [...]

There’s a fun NYT article about Stéphane Urbain, the man who rings the bells at the Cathedral of Notre-Dame in Paris (free registration may be required—sorry). Apparently not even the world of church bell-ringing is spared the “tradition vs. new ideas” tug-of-war:
His musicality has led to a minor revolution in the way that the [...]

If you follow Barbara Nicolosi’s Church of the Masses blog, you know that she’s lately gotten hooked on the new Battlestar Galactica television show. She recently wrote a great post wrestling with whether or not BSG is a good show—in the moral sense. (Caution—her post contains major spoilers for the show.) I love the way [...]
