FLOSS In Church (or OSS or FOSS) Today

2007-02-01T15:27:00.000-08:00

Whether you prefer to call Free(Livre) Open Source Software FLOSS or FOSS or just plain OSS, bringing awareness of using Linux and FLOSS in church to a much larger audience is a necessity. My new project, FLOSS In Church , is intended to bring to the church community a better awareness of the availabily of Free(Livre) Open Source Software in the church and also the church's responsibility to lead in the adoption of FLOSS.

FLOSS In Church along with Open Source Software for Home Schoolers is a member of the FLOSSToday.com family.

This resource will also function as a directory of FLOSS Resources and Software specifically targeted to the church. It is one way I help promote Linux and Free Open Source Software.

So, make sure you FLOSS In Church today and everyday!!!

Single Adult Resources

Unequally Yoked And Spiritually Single
The terms “unequally yoked” and “spiritually single” describe the married person who is a born again believer but whose spouse is not.

Behind The Facade
Don't be fooled by me
Don't be fooled by the face I wear
For I wear a thousand masks,
Masks that I'm afraid to take off,
And none of them are me.

Can God Use You?
The next time you feel like GOD can't use you, just remember...

Why Aren't You Married Yet?

2006-06-19T08:12:00.000-07:00

Christianity Today is running a nice article on that most questions we all seem to get asked all too often. If you’re single, you’ve probably been on the receiving end of this question more than once, and if you’re married you can probably remember having heard it from well-meaning friends and church members before you tied the knot. Well-intentioned or not, the priority that Christians place on marriage and families can be awkward and frustrating for those who are, for whatever reason, single.

What's Cupid Got to Do with It?

2006-02-13T08:50:00.000-08:00

According to Roman mythology, Cupid was the son of Venus, the goddess of love and beauty. Cupid was known to cause people to fall in love by shooting them with his magical arrows. But Cupid didn't just cause others to fall in love - he himself fell deeply in love.

As legend has it, Cupid fell in love with a mortal maiden named Psyche. Cupid married Psyche, but Venus, jealous of Psyche's beauty, forbade her daughter-in-law to look at Cupid. Psyche, of course, couldn't resist temptation and sneaked a peek at her handsome husband. As punishment, Venus demanded that she perform three hard tasks, the last of which caused Psyche's death.

Cupid brought Psyche back to life and the gods, moved by their love, granted Pysche immortality. Cupid thus represents the heart and Psyche the (struggles of the) human soul.

Tiananmen Square and Google

2006-02-10T06:59:00.000-08:00

Just a short post on the Google/China discussion. Here are two serach links for Tainanmen Square showing the US version and the Chinese version.

Search Tiananmen at Google Images:

Now search Tiananmen at Google China:

Google's slogan "Do No Evil" seems inappropriate since they sold-out to appease China's government.

Tommy Nelson Song of Solomon Conference - March 24 & 25 - FBC Sevierville

2006-01-31T16:59:00.000-08:00

"In just 8 short chapters, God provides us with every answer we need in the areas of love, marriage, sex and romance. Unfortunately, most people never read this poetic book tucked away in the Old Testament, or if they do, they rarely understand its full meaning.

Tommy Nelson unlocks this unique book with his straightforward message that is not just for married people. It is the perfect message for anyone that wants the best from their love life. Singles will find practical and Biblical information about attraction and dating and married couples will learn how to revitalize their marriage with the passion, romance and commitment God intended. And the Bible doesn't shy away from the topics of sex and conflict, so neither does Tommy as he expounds on these issues from the perspective found in the Biblical text."

I have read some pretty awesome testimonies about this conference (available on DVD also). You may want to check it out yourself at TommyNelsonOnline.com

Coming to Sevierville on March 24 and 25!
