We constantly push for ministry leaders and churches to look at all of the different ways of engaging a community of believers that they have influence in. Social media is a natural place to engage with student because that is what they are on a lot.

It’s not about the sound. It’s not about the lights. It’s not about the song set. These things have a lot to do with the experience of even feeling of praise and worship. Alistair Begg really breaks things down:
Why Internet Privacy Matters
I’m really enjoying this discussion of personal liberty versus security that we’re having these days as it centers around Internet privacy. Before we proceed, let me go ahead and shed any sense of impartiality or subtlety:

Maybe the UK Shouldn’t Censor Pornography?
A few weeks ago I had written about the UK’s online pornography block.
