If we think of the social media as one-way communication rather than relational community, we will fail. http://internetevangelismday.com/blog/archives/210 2010-08-08T17:36:51-05:00 # Steve Kryger at Communicate Jesus blog, recently needed to phone a number of churches in his country. What a nightmare! Those who have attempted to email churches via their websites have found a similar picture. # Changes to Facebook make it easier for churches or groups (rather than individuals) to have a Facebook presence. OurChurch has blogged about these developments. # Craig von Buseck interviews Sterling Huston about digital evangelism here – one question discussed is that of having a web evangelism team within a church. Do you know of churches who already have such teams? Please share how these work, using the ‘comment’ link below. # We now have a 2-page handout about digital evangelism, which can be used to print and distribute in a church, or can be republished (in whole or in part) in newsletters, blogs, magazines: http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/outlets-without-power-5926 2009-09-28T09:20:29-05:00 With so much pressure on you, there just doesn't seem to be the power to handle it all. Your spirituality, your religion may give you some spiritual experiences, but that's not the power we really need. We need spiritual power that changes the things about us that we have never been able to change; to beat the things that have always beaten us. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20Thessalonians%202:1-3&version=NIV 2009-08-04T17:34:50-05:00 Failure doesn't always look the same. Paul tells the Thessalonians that he had suffered before for the gospel in Phillipi. Paul relied on the strength of God to turn what might have been deemed a failure into a success. http://hutchcraft.com/a-life-that-matters/radio-program/how-champions-bounce-back-8219 2009-03-17T15:49:01-05:00 I’m Ron Hutchcraft, and when you fail, when you’ve had a loss, you can do one of two things: let your defeat become discouragement, or let your defeat become determination. http://intothyword.org/apps/articles/default.asp?articleid=41860&columnid=3803 2008-10-29T17:24:18-05:00 Learning from Failure. A call of the Holy Spirit is given; a warning is proclaimed that we must listen to the voice of our Lord Jesus Christ. http://hutchcraft.com/A-Word-With-You/Your-Personal-Power/Bouncing-Back-when-You-Blow-It-3801 2008-07-30T16:55:55-05:00 Maybe it's a pattern you know all too well. Like a dieter, you've made up your mind to change--to do things Jesus' way. You're living right, you're doing well. But one day you mess up and fall back into something the old you would do. And you feel ashamed. Now right here is the point--in dieting or being a disciple--that will determine whether or not this is a brief detour or a huge defeat. What will you do when you've blown it? Now, you can clean up or give up.
