It is certainly the contention of Nicholas Carr in his book The Shallows, and some other commentators, that our brains are being rewired by the Web and social media, and not always in a good way. http://internetevangelismday.com/blog/archives/6858 2012-02-02T10:02:44-05:00 The 24/7 always-on searchable Internet is an ideal match for a seeker. Here, Kimberley tells her story of seeking and finding. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/you-can-t-see-them-but-they-re-holding-it-together-6537 2012-01-31T10:10:53-05:00 I hope you're in the category of God's unsung heroes. Oh, men may not know your name or the sacrifices you're making. Oh, but be sure God does. You may not feel like your role is important, but believe me like those women who supported Jesus' ministry, you're the foundation...you're the support beams. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/who-stole-the-cross-6479 2011-11-10T10:53:52-05:00 We should be outraged! We've allowed Jesus' cross to be stolen from the center of our hearts, and our ministries, and our conversations. "The message of the cross," 1 Corinthians 1:18 says, "is...the power of God." I need to be as passionate about elevating that cross as the world and the devil are about eliminating it. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-hindrances/big-men-big-mistakes-6469 2011-11-03T14:17:28-05:00 God's made it clear "your sin will find you out." He loves you too much to let you keep getting away with what will ultimately destroy you. We have to build our walls high around the places where we're vulnerable. And fall to our knees in repentance where we've strayed out of bounds before any more damage is done. http://internetevangelismday.com/blog/archives/6019 2011-10-28T12:13:37-05:00 While it is scarily true that we don't often recognize our own faults, and "we judge ourselves by our intentions, and others by their actions", it can also happen that we may not recognize our own talents either. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/the-collapse-of-a-two-legged-bridge-6459 2011-10-13T09:22:49-05:00 Our greatest fear should be if that person I care about will be lost forever. Sometimes it's the pressure, the peer pressure that makes me start doing things that make them wonder if being a Christian is really anything that different. I'm confusing them. I'm keeping them from Jesus because I'm not a whole lot different from the people who don't know Him. http://internetevangelismday.com/blog/archives/5756 2011-09-28T12:39:32-05:00 Phill Butler's highly recommended book is yours free.

Be like Jesus with your family. Whatever others get, well it's simply going to be the overflow of what you are living in front of your family. Jesus started at home. So should you. http://internetevangelismday.com/blog/archives/5611 2011-09-12T13:02:06-05:00 Lots to ponder in Hedy's TED lecture about real communication, crossing bridges, and learning to listen:
