Facebook? Twitter? Why?

 
Over the last several months, I have slowly entered the world of online community. First with Facebook, then blogging, and now Twitter. 
The big question/objection I’ve received from others when it comes up is either:

“Don’t you have anything better to do?”
“I don’t have time for that…”

My reasons are simple.
In an increasingly technology driven world, I believe [...]

Aspiration of Art within the Church

Continuing thoughts on artistic expression within the church…
Every culture has a form, style, or place of prominence that its members aspire to. They are the standards by which everything is measured.  And much of what we do, whether intentional or not, is informed by these external forces.
And the church is no different.
In most churches on [...]

Confidence in awkwardness…

Talking with a filmmaker friend recently about artistic expression within the church…

I think the struggle stems from the feeling that we have [...]
