It’s happened to me more than once.  I get an email from someone I don’t recognize right away.  But after staring at it for a few moments, I recognize the last name of someone I know.  So I open it and realize it’s actually from that person’s spouse…I think.  But on closer look I see [...]

I thought we could start out the week with some funny marital advice.  I first ran across Johnny and Chachi a couple of years ago at the Echo Conference.  They cracked me up, but I am a sucker for song parodies and grown men in wigs.  Regardless, there’s some good advice  in here.

I’ve been looking for a meaningful but concise overview of a biblical perspective on health care reform, and this petition from Sojourners is the best I’ve found. I signed it and encourage other Christians to do so. And I encourage all readers to comment about whether this statement articulates your Christian convictions as they relate [...]

Catholic archbishop Vincent Nichols said in a recent interview with the Telegraph that he is concerned about the impact websites like Facebook and Myspace are having on teenagers.  Though I am generally suspicious of generalizations made about “kids these days,” and suspect the problems he points to can be tracked to other causes, one point [...]

Recently, the oldest known version of the Bible went digital. The 1,600-year-old, hand written Codex Sinaiticus has been spread out in four different locations, but historians and scholars are now bringing the pieces together online.

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 [...]

One of the insider jokes here at ThinkChristian is that one of our top-visited posts even now—month after month consistently in our top five—is from 2007. Consistently, search engines lead people to us to discover “Hot Steamy Christian Sex.”
One of the ironies is that I talk about sex regularly. My wife and I lead marriage enrichment seminars and [...]

This morning I had a little bit of a “are you kidding me” moment when I was cruising around Facebook.  I was looking at the suggested friends area when I saw the Facebook computers thought I should be a friend/fan of God.  Hmmm.
I get rather annoyed when the recommendations are organizations, celebrities or fan pages.   [...]

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 [...]
