They recommend urgent action to increase the security of all WordPress.org sites. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/temple-treasure-6784 2013-01-10T13:07:10-05:00 In a sense, what you do with that body - everything you do with it - God is a part of. He lives in that temple. Everything you do to that body, you do to God. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/someones-been-talking-about-you-6727 2012-10-24T10:57:42-05:00 You are not traveling this road alone. Someone's talking about you. Jesus is talking to His Father about you. Man, that's good to know. That makes all the difference. http://internetevangelismday.com/blog/archives/9009 2012-08-20T12:13:29-05:00 Can anyone explain why mobile phone manufacturers neglect to protect the phone camera lens in any meaningful way? There are now two blindingly good contenders for best Android camera phone from HTC and Samsung, with camera quality and functionality we could have only dreamed of three years ago. But what is there to stop the lens getting dusty, smeared with finger prints, or scratched? Nothing that I can see. In which case all the high quality megapixels, autofocus, multishot capability etc. are potentially wasted. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-personal-power/spiritual-body-guards-6564 2012-03-09T13:45:26-05:00 Christ's body has been broken enough. He said, "This is My body which was broken for you." Don't allow it to be broken any more by a Christian attacking another Christian. Don't throw any punches at someone that Jesus loves very much. http://internetevangelismday.com/dangers.php 2010-08-08T16:08:57-05:00 not taken sufficient action to counter wrong uses of the Web. And because the Internet is a sort of worldwide library – that gives access to anyone, anything, anywhere, in seconds – the dangers and temptations are real. Internet Evangelism Day strongly believes that the Web is a tool God has given us for evangelism and discipleship. But as in any other form of ministry, you need God’s protection. [www.urbana.org/wtoday.ephesians.cfm?article=95] Because you may be using the Internet in the familiar surroundings of home or office, it may seem deceptively safe. Although we encourage many types of online evangelism, we also want to alert you to potential dangers. See, for instance, our warning about outreach at Second Life. If you are involved in starting online ministry, especially outreach, you will be under additional attack [www.urbana.org/_articles.cfm?recordid=107] and prayer partners are essential. How bad is it? http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-mission/what-makes-you-really-valuable-6053 2010-03-24T10:39:59-05:00 Because you're Jesus' personal representative in a dark place, in many ways you aren't like everybody else. But you keep loving them unconditionally. You make them feel important, and doing the right thing without condemning them. You keep doing all of that, and you're going to be, whether they admit it or not, one of the most important people in their life. Because people like you are rare and very, very valuable. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Timothy%204:18&version=NIV 2009-09-27T14:19:51-05:00 God's role as protector of His children is emphasized throughout the Bible. Here, we read that He protects us from every harmful spiritual attack that is launched against us. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=2%20Thessalonians%203:2-3&version=NIV 2009-07-22T11:17:34-05:00 This passage promises us that God will protect us from evil. Because God has promised this, we can trust it to be true, because he is utterly dependable. We can't defend ourselves from spiritual attack with our own power--but God is able and willing to do so for us.
