https://tolmission.com/2022/12/03/how-does-technology-affect-your-spirituality/ In both its practical and technological forms, technology has become an intrinsic element of contemporary civilization. In our daily lives, we utilize technology not just for communication and enjoyment, but also for education and inquiry. However, for many individuals, technology may also be a source of tension, especially when it comes to spiritual topics. With the power of the internet, we can now access any type of information with a single click. This has profoundly altered our interactions with religion and spirituality, affording us more options than ever before. However, although it may be a useful tool for advancing our understanding of religion and belief, it can also be a cause of misunderstanding and conflict.
Speed Up Editing Sermon Audio & Generate Transcripts In a Flash
https://churchm.ag/editing-sermon-audio-generate-transcripts-pompom/Sermon audio sharing isn’t reserved for famous pastors like Tim Keller, John Piper, and Tony Evans.
However, editing sermon audio can be time-consuming, especially if you don’t have a dedicated staff person or a volunteer with relevant knowledge.
Thankfully, a new program is available for Mac and IOS that may help you quickly edit your sermons, get a transcript practically instantaneously, and produce shareable video clips. Pompom is its name.
Simply put, what is Pompom?
Pompom is a podcast editing tool for Mac and iOS that streamlines the recording, editing, and publishing processes. Pompom accomplishes this by combining AI and audio editing smarts to enable you make short modifications to your recordings before sharing them with the world.
Pompom, in contrast to the vast majority of today’s apps, is not browser-based but rather operates locally on the device, so you never have to worry about losing work due to a shaky internet connection or waste time waiting for a basic page vie
Is Europe Post-Christian or Pre-Revival?
https://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2022/december-web-only/europe-revival-post-christian-continent-prayer-church-diasp.htmlAs a missionary to this “prodigal continent,” here’s how I see church planting, the prayer movement, and diaspora churches making a difference.
When Did We Become So Mean?
In a recent conversation, my teacher-friend mentioned how the school system has recognized the need to teach kindness to the kids. Over the years, it’s been forgotten and kids are not as kind. They make fun of others. Tear down. Have exclusive clubs. And the such.
Kindness? Really? It’s not something that they already know? After reflection, I realized…you know what? They’re right! They know what it means but fall dreadfully short when it comes to living it out.
Shows like Mr. Roger’s Neighborhood have been replaced with Fairly Odd Parents and the like. This generation has grown up watching intolerance, injustice, and acts of hatred left and right. They’ve seen us let fear take hold….and watched as we fret at night. But kindness…have they seen it modeled? Do they recognize it as a need right now?
- Do the words we speak lift others up…or rather tear them down?
- Do we put others in front of ourselves…or does selfishness abound?
- Will we spread joy this holiday season…or grumble as we wait in the crowd?
- Do we gossip, complain, whine, and moan…or do we spread good cheer?
- Have we forgotten the meaning of respect to those in public service? Our teachers, policemen, firemen, and others who give their lives to better us.
- Do we have a me-first attitude? Or do we remember the words of Jesus…”It is more blessed to give than receive” (Acts 20:35).
As parents of the generation-rising, we have a responsibility. It is our job to instill an attitude of gratefulness and stop passing the buck around. If we want a world where kindness looms, then we need to reflect within. What do we show with our own lives? Would others say that we’re kind?
Godinterest: The 'Christian' Version of Pinterest?
https://www.philcooke.com/godinterest/Do we really need Godinterest? Another Christian version of a successful idea? (Right down to the font style of the logo). When will we start creating instead of simply ripping off the world? I find it fascinating that God chose to introduce Himself to us in the first verse of the Bible as a ‘Creator.’ We’re made in His image, and yet we refuse to embrace that calling. Let me know what you think, because I believe it’s high time we started leading the culture instead of doing a poor imitation.
Godinterest: Pinterest Meets … God? – ChurchMag
https://churchm.ag/godinterest/I am afraid that Godinterest, a Christian Pinterest, will have a hard time gaining the kind of traction it will need to stick around for a long time.
