Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

From Comment: © Arlissa Vaughn When Nicodemus questioned Jesus about how to be born again, Jesus replied with a beautifully poetic response from which we can learn a great deal.

Comment interview with Matt Bonzo

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

From an interview with Christian philosopher Matt Bonzo in Comment: To begin, philosophy is not a substitute for faith.

Getting good digital audio of sermons without spending a fortune

Posted by cicw

Thursday, March 19th, 2009

I’ve been included in, or told about, conversations in several churches lately about getting digital audio recordings of sermons, and a common theme is the fear that it’s too expensive. At the risk of sounding like a commercial, I can say that in our experience here at CICW, we’ve become huge fans of these little [...]
