Some thoughts on Pastors who blog
By · CommentsDevelop Associations. A blog is basically an opportunity to exchange ideas and interact with those of similar interests. Blogging encourages feedback, questions, and discussions where everyone feels free to share. Pastors find blogs helpful, they begin to appreciate and comprehend what’s going on with those they’re trying to get in touch with.
Embracing the common. You don’t need a masterpiece. Blogs support posts about everyday experiences and help others to center on the important parts of everyday life.
Pastors are like the rest of us. Pastors have the opportunity to share their persona, wit, and passions. A pastor can be seen as someone who loves to help, write and visit.
Contact the lost. It often is very difficult to attract people to church; blogging is a different story. Many are in search of answers and are comfortable doing so blogging. The fact is: blogs are within society accepted.
Outside the stain glass. Blogs as available world-wide and a pastor can gain a following independent of the local congregation. While many members may subscribe to the blog there is an opportunity for new subscribers from beyond the church.
Many want help and advice. Confusion reigns, advertisements and untrustworthy sources are the norm of the day. Clergy are often in a situation where they can recommend literature, studies, counsel, and behaviors that will help others. Blogging is a wonderful way to exchange helpful recommendations.
A diversion. Blogging can provide an opportunity to decompress and a great way to release emotions and express feelings.
It is a process. Writing for a blog can help you organize your thoughts. Without a time schedule blogging provides an opportunity to journal thoughts.
Virtual benefits. Blogging is concerned with substance and the interactive experience. Personal interaction can be distracted by appearance, first impressions and even mannerisms.
INFORMATION PROTECTION WEEK? ASK GOOGLE!
By · CommentsSince Google disclosed in January that Internet hackers stole information from its computers systems, the details of the theft have been closely guarded. This week, nearly four months after the high profile breach, someone with direct connection to the investigation revealed that the cyber theft made off with one of Google’s crown jewels – a password system that controls access for millions of users worldwide and to almost all of the company’s Web services, including e-mail and business applications. If this Internet giant is vulnerable to hackers and cyber criminals, how about you?
Malicious cyber attacks around the world more than doubled last year and accounted for more of reported data security breaches than human error; a disturbing new trend. Attacks on websites can come from viruses, malware and through Internet and social media.
That’s why highlighting the importance of using strong passwords, using anti-virus software while keeping it and patches up to date, being careful when sharing personal information, and making sure sites are secure and legitimate are key everyday business practices to follow and share with others.

Social Media and the Church
By · CommentsSocial media includes and is not limited to Facebook, MySpace, YouTube, Twitter and blogs, among others.
Social media is about relationships, and connections and the ever evolving communications tool continually being invented.
Where does the church fit in?
The printing press that was used to print your Bible, to the laptop computer and the cell phone can be used for excellent ventures or immorality.
For the Gospel to be heard it has to be communicated. The Church needs go to the community.
People are spending more and more of their time on Facebook and Twitter.
Awaken the Christian Church to the fact that people are indeed on the Web in increasing numbers and spending more of their time there.
Whether you like it or not, it is happening.
We have a historic opportunity.
- Will the Church, find ways to impact their communities through this tool called the Internet?
- Will we get out of our comfort zones?
My prayer is that we will.
