Welcome to the blog!

So, this March Southover did a mini-series on the Bible in the hope of encouraging and equipping you to read it more and get more out of it. And in #4 (The Bible, God's Treasure) I spoke about making the most of everything technology has to offer - and it's from giving this sermon that I've started this blog, so I can post here everything I think could be worth you checking out.

In case you're interested to hear more in-depth about the relationship between the Church and Technology, Mark Driscoll has done a great run-down which you can listen to by scrolling to the bottom of this page: http://marshill.com/2010/11/09/this-is-why-we-do-video (those people who have hung around me for a while will know I listen to a lot of Driscoll... but more on him later).

The web has become the biggest game-changer since Gutenburg printing press in 1436 - in 2010 there were 88 billion Google searches per month. So, this is my rather tiny contribution in helping you find helpful stuff you might like.

Happy exploring,


Chris :-)



P.S. ...

My hope behind this is to help mainly younger Christians find things that will
encourage and feed their faith, as a supplement to serving at church.

Therefore , if you are a ranty atheist:
feel free to browse, but please save the ranting for facebook.

Or, if you are a Christian using the internet as a substitute for church:
feel free to browse, but please get yourself to a good church soon.
Move house if you have to. Matt 9:37

With thanks to the humourists...

Before we get to business, I must credit Jon Acuff for the inspiration behind the blog title (though, to be fair, he nicked it from someone else). I bought his book 'Stuff Christians like' a while back - which was pitch perfect. Sarcastic enough to be genuinely funny, but not so cynical that it made me stop wanting to go to church. You can 'like' him on facebook for occasional posts, of varying humour levels.. https://www.facebook.com/pages/Jon-Acuff/231450353538563.

Also thanks to Tommy for the profile pic. There will only be a few people reading this who havn't encountered him yet, but just in case: https://www.facebook.com/pages/Tommy/286651441372738.
