Minecraft Theology: Faith Without Works [Season 3, Episode 04]


by

We need another shop, of course, so it makes sense for us to make a fishing shop. While we create this, Jeremy talks about the theology concept of faith without works. Here are the verses shared in the video: What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, “Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about their physical ... Read More

Why Should Your Church Create a Perfect Visitor Profile?


by

One of the exercises my companies does quite regularly is to identify the actions that the best customers and users take. They call this a perfect customer profile and this means they look at those who use their product the most, what activities and characteristics they share now and what interactions they had along the way. This helps highlight trends between the more regular and top spending customers. I believe there is some value in applying this to the Church. Let me explain with a couple ... Read More

Why Is the Disney “D” So Weird?


by

The Vlogbrothers are best described by themselves in their YouTube channel description as, "Raising nerdy to the power of awesome." because that's exactly what they do. If you haven't checked their channel out before then you should if you are into nerdiness being raised to the power of awesome.

It looked more like a ... Read More

DOOM (2016) – The Best of FPS [Saturday Morning Review]


by

[Yes, we know DOOM is rated "M." That's because it's violent and there's nothing as intense and mature as visiting hell itself to serve up some sweet-sweet vengeance as you save mankind.] Rebooted in 2016, DOOM is one of the best FPS games I have ever played -- maybe even the best I've played. First Person gaming is my favorite ways to play, but nothing caught my attention more than DOOM. It is easily the most satisfying FPS you'll play. I'll be honest, it took me a while to warm up to the ... Read More

Here are the verses shared in the video: Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance.

Best Place To Get Custom Stickers


by

As someone who loves to create creative stickers (just ask Eric, he'll show ya!), I had to find a couple of creative places to get custom stickers to giveaway. Sure, I can go the fairly cheap 8bit heart stickers, which I did, but it doesn't have that personal touch. And what about your ministry? Rebrand your church? Custom stickers would be great! Going on an overseas missions trip? Hand these out to your team members to put on themselves and on all of their bags. Perfect for youth ministries ... Read More
