Winning at Home - #6437
Maybe it's time to take a step back and commit yourself to first of all represent Christ, be His ambassador. Be like Jesus with your family. Whatever others get, well it's simply going to be the overflow of what you are living in front of your family. Jesus started at home. So should you.

Recycling Garbage - #6433
The power of Christ is so great that it reaches even to the garbage dumps of our lives and turns trash into treasure. Like the song writer said, "All I had to offer Him was brokenness and strife, but He made something beautiful of my life."

The Great Cheerleader Shortage - #6412
The church is experiencing right now a major cheerleader shortage. And you could be a part of the Aaron and Hur brigade that's part of the answer. Maybe not a player, but you could encourage a leader; you could stir up support for a leader; you could offer praise to someone who has a bucket full of criticism already. Don't wait till the funeral to give it to him.

God's Bomb Squad - #6408
You could save a ministry by being the one who delicately diffuses an over-burdened Christian leader. God needs people who will be His bomb squad.

Stuck in the On Position - #6388
Life really becomes an adventure when you open up your day to God's sovereign matching of you with people. You pray, "Lord, use my everyday activities to put me in the path of someone who needs me and who needs You."

The Snow Plow You're Following - #6383
The Lord will never lead you anywhere that He has not first scouted and prepared for you. The snow plow clears the road ahead of you, and so does the Shepherd. And because He does, you'll never end up stuck.

Understanding and using Facebook and social media effectively
Social media can be a confusing and fragmented communication niche. Facebook, for instance, is an almost ramshackle accumulation of features and counter-intuitive usability options. For example 'Like' means three things depending on context. 'Like' a fan page means 'become a fan'. 'Like' a webpage or blog post means posting a summary on your own Facebook Wall. 'Like' a Facebook post means little, and doesn’t share that post with your friends.
