Wake Up, Church! The Time Has Come for Pastors of Online Ministry

If you're new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

Have you noticed that the larger churches have made some serious upgrades to their website in 2009? Churches now have Twitter accounts, Facebook fan pages, and blogs. Their members who are getting it done in the workplace are stepping up and bringing their local churches kicking and screaming into the 21st century.

Content that used to be impossible to find is now making it to the Web. Sermons, skits, teachings, music, conferences, testimonies, signs, and wonders are nudging their way toward mainstream availability.

Instant Viewpoint Goodies from the Social Web

Facebook and Twitter have made my life easier in many ways. Yes, I reap the benefits of social media. I keep in touch with friends and family. I keep up on things I don’t have the time to actually sit through. I share pictures and stories. There is one thing that I interesting about social media and controversy: it makes the debate, discussion and even trash talk instant.

To Netbook or Not to Netbook…That Is the Question

I guess I’m just spoiled by the digital age. I have my laptop and my Blackberry. What more do I need for my life to be portable? I like being on the go. I like that I can work from just about everywhere, but it has drawbacks.

The Blackberry is a fabulous tool. I love having access to my e-mails, the internet, documents, and other items while I am on the go. I can even access my Google Calendar and my Google Docs, and that makes running my business much easier. I love being able to Twitter and use Facebook when I am working and just out and about. I can even update my Blog from everywhere my phone has service. How can I be disappointed with that?

Today I got a phone call from one of the guys at P3. Apparently, the owner of one of the establishments we work in has requested that we remove all pictures of his establishment from his and the owner’s Facebook account, our show video and the web site. I guess some of the patrons were upset that there were “embarrassing” (for lack of a better word)…etc pictures of them on the internet. They have threatened to not return as long as the owner allows us to use pictures from there for public viewing. We are complying; however, I just don’t get it.

I have been a Sprint customer for six years. Two of those years I was on a family plan. The whole family plan was costing me more that a regular plan, so I ended up getting my own contract.

How Twitter Has Helped My Writing

Twitter has improved my writing…no really it has. It has made me work harder and be more focused on my business. I know Twitter doesn’t seem like an obvious writing aide, but it has helped make a difference in my writing.

Of course, I joined Twitter to network and to direct more traffic towards my work. I’m not a huge blogger, and the words “social media guru/expert” make me want to gouge my eyes out with a spoon, but I have started to make good connections. That has driven more traffic to my blog and other work. That has also made me more motivated to keep creating new material. It also pushes my inner perfectionist to create a better product.

Am I Crazy for Switching from an iPhone to a Sidekick?

no-iphoneI can’t help it. I NEED a physical keyboard, and apparently, Steve Jobs hates me. I need it so bad, I just posted a new article about needing a physical keyboard for my cellphone on the MarketNet Blog. Who doesn’t want to be like Mark Cuban, blogging from their phone while they hit the treadmill? Hmm… Well, anyway, check it out. Tell me what you think, and share your list of cellphones so we can see who is the most ghettofabulous.
