Does everything we do in church have to tie in directly to the message and be thematic?  Or can it ok that something simply just be “cool”?  
Ahh..the question that drives myself and a few close friends to always find the balance in how we use technology in worship.  There is always tension!  We are using material, physical [...]

I love this music video of Coldplay’s Life in Technicolor ii.  Just hilarious.

We thankfully had all the DVDs of the previous conference, so we simply played the video [...]

Quick thought this morning:
