Movies and TV tell hidden stories with spiritual messages and parallels
People have always loved stories – indeed we are hard-wired to so, and we spend a considerable portion of our leisure time in the world of story, particularly through movies/TV. Yet many people probably enjoy them without necessarily discerning areas of deeper significance within the plot.

Answering and posing Christian questions online
The Web is primarily a relationship builder. If it connects my computer to yours, then it connects me to you, your thoughts to mine. Everything else is just the nuts and bolts.
Very often, such relationships are fleeting. But worthwhile. John at ChurchCrunch explains how he uses Aardvark to connect with people who are asking spiritual questions.
Charlotte writes how she helps people asking questions on Yahoo Answers.
Rob from New Zealand says, “I am doing my best to reach others through Facebook and YouTube. YouTube is easy as you just reply to comments about clips and get a conversation going.”
There is also a huge need for Christians to become e-mentors for inquirers who write to large web outreach ministries.

Book review: Growth by Accident, Death by Planning, by Bob Whitesel
We believe that the Web has enormous potential in facilitating church growth. But a church which does not understand the spiritual dynamics of growth may fail to grow despite an apparently good evangelistic program. Bob Whitesel is a church doctor/consultant. There are very few people with his sort of ministry.

The Voices and the Choices - #2716
We've caved in to the pressure, didn't stand for what was right and sold out our Savior. We listened to a voice or voices other than Jesus. We can't have those moments of compromise back. But we can bring them to the Lord repentantly, and claim His forgiveness. And pledge to Him that His will be the voice we follow in our choices.

Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - It Stings - But it Disinfects - #5304
In some ways, the closer the person is to us, the harder it is for us to receive critical feedback from them. Like from our spouse, for example. But those are the comments we should give the greatest weight to, because this is someone who really loves us and someone who knows us well.
