Friday Blog Roundup – August 1
Well, it’s nice to be back again. I haven’t posted this week because of the business I’ve had working on our new church location. Today, I go back to finish my window washing chore. I used to clean windows for the Hardees chain of restaurants before I got married and entered the broadcast industry in 1987 (Yea, I know 21 years ago!) In the weeks to come, I’ll share more about our journey to the new site and I’ll have some photos of our first service there hopefully late next month if I have my wish.
For now, here’s a few blogs for you to check out over the weekend. I promise you, I’ll be back writing next week for sure.
Thursday Bram writes a nice piece on doing something with those leftover cellphones you have. With so many folks drinking the Apple IPhone Kool-Aid, a bunch of cellphones have bit the dust in recent weeks. Here’s some good ideas on how you can help keep those things out of the landfill for a while longer.
Do you have “anchors” in your life? You should. This week, Nelson Searcy discusses the topic and gives you a few “anchors” to get you started.
Here’s a funny cartoon from “Out of Ur” to make you laugh about the church growth craze. A few years ago, I was that guy in the seat. I can relate!
And last but not least…
David Foster writes about an issue I’ve considered for a while now; “The Death of the Christian Market.” I have seen this death firsthand here in Denver as the local Christian bookstore is drying up and the only LifeWay store in our state moved its doors further south to attract people who may still shop there. Independent Christian stores are gone and only the chains survive but even then, they are cutting hours and inventory and moving to smaller quarters. I’ll have my own take on this in a future post but suffice it to say, the Christian publishing industry will be drastically changed in the next few years. Technology will see to it.
That’s it for the week. Have a blessed weekend!
