Bible 2.0

Bobby from LifeChurch.tv have announced a Web 2.0 based bible application called YouVersion. From what I have seen, it is a bible study tool with the element of “community” where ideas and items can be shared with others. I’ll be interested to see how it goes, this could prove a useful tool for all Christians [...]

Purpose of logos

What is the purpose of logos? To create an image? Something that can be recognised? How do we create good logos? Seth explores the concept of logo creation. There are a few things I’d like to point out:

Some of the great logos in our day didn’t cost much to make
Not everything needs a logo

Developing Leaders

Found a cool post about developing leaders vs developing followers. When Jesus commanded us to make disciples, I don’t think He meant to get as many church members as possible, instead we are called to make disciples, we are called to train them so that they may train others as well. This is how the [...]

Hope Mission Centre

It’s been a while, but I thought I might give you all an idea of what kind of things took place to get our building ready to be used for our Sunday services. We are still in the process of adding and fixing things, we believe pretty soon, we will be outgrowing this place. There [...]

First car no more

Well it was fun while it lasted, riding in that little beast – namely my 1986 Honda Civic.  I’ve received the call that the car is not worth fixing and will be ridden off. The insurance company is going to reimburse for the value of the car, and so I guess this means I will [...]

One sex or is it?

I just had a thought as I was commuting on the train from work. We have words like unicycle, unicorn, united, they all have a common meaning through the prefix uni, i.e., one of something, cycle or wheel, corn or horn (no idea how they got corn), and basically this concept of one entity.
Then if [...]

Accidents do happen

Got the shock of my life as I was driving my nephew home from his Maths tutoring. A car rammed into me from behind. Apparently he didn’t realise that I had stopped at the corner to wait for an oncoming truck, so he just kept going thinking that he had no cars in front of [...]

Brain Training

I found a pretty neat website – through TechCruch – that aims to improve your brain skills in areas such as attention, memory, processing. I had a go at the Measure My Lumos IQ and I managed to get 146 on my first attempt, then seeing as I knew I could do better I did [...]

What does it mean to be a youth leader?

As the leaders of our youth group prepare for the next coming weeks, we are taking some time to reflect on what it means to be a youth leader. Here are some points that I’ve come up with so far:

A youth leader prays in preparation for each service
A youth leader is the first to show [...]
