You cannot break human cognition rules and still communicate – this applies to a vast variety of situations. That the message is 'spiritual', or otherwise beneficial, makes no difference. Online, everything is subject to the brutal 'blink test' – the lightning fast algorithm our brains apply to a website, magazine article, video short, or anything else, as the infographic explains. http://hutchcraft.com/a-word-with-you/your-most-important-relationship/peace-that-stands-the-test-6450 2011-09-30T13:41:42-05:00 When you make your peace with God, you will have God's peace.

Johnson’s strategy is that a church website ‘intrigue the lost’ and start a relationship-building process to draw people into the fellowship where they will begin to understand the full implications of the gospel. http://internetevangelismday.com/bookreviews/dont-make-me-think-usability.php 2010-08-07T15:56:40-05:00 This is probably the best book available on how to build usability into a website. ‘Usability’ means: enabling visitors to find what they are looking for, and present it to them in an intuitive way they can easily understand. Few websites implement all Steve’s common-sense recommendations, and lose out as a result. He also provides a vital section on how to use other people to test a website. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=James%201:2-4&version=NIV 2009-10-07T16:28:47-05:00 James tells us to accept trails of all kinds with joy. The testing of our faith, while difficult, helps us develop perseverance. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Psalm%2026:2-3&version=NIV 2009-10-02T14:35:00-05:00 The psalmist confidently asks God to "try" and "test" him, and to search his heart. He invites God into every corner of his life. http://biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1%20John%204:1-6&version=NIV 2009-07-20T14:33:31-05:00 Not everything that claims to speak for God is trustworthy.

If a claim doesn't pass this test, we should steer clear.
