From the Word: Shortcuts to God

Written by Fred McKinnon on July 15, 2009 – 9:23 AM -

Thanks to Kim Bontrager for posting this on Twitter – I saw it the other day, and thought “this would be a good conversation on the blog”.

Here ya go – from “The Message”, Matt 7:

13-14 “Don’t look for shortcuts to God. The market is flooded with surefire, easygoing formulas for a successful life that can be practiced in your spare time. Don’t fall for that stuff, even though crowds of people do. The way to life—to God!—is vigorous and requires total attention.

What say you?

Hey Everybody,

In just a little over one week, I’ll be out at the National Worship Leader Conference in Leawood, KS (greater Kansas City area).  I have the privilege of teaching the Worship + Web 2.0 class at the conference and hosting the live blog/vide/twitter feed that will be live on TheWorshipCommunity.Com.

If you are attending the event, or if you live in the area (or if you just really want to hang out and don’t mind traveling), you are invited to an after-hours “Worship Meetup” on Tuesday, July 21.

The event is being hosted by TheWorshipCommunity.Com, AllAboutWorship.Com, and PlanningCenterOnline.Com.  Because we’re printing free T-Shirts to the first 50 attendees and we hope to have some food, we need you to RSVP if you’re attending – ASAP.

When: Tuesday, July 21, 9:30PM
(immediately after the Tuesday PM session at the National Worship Leader Conference)
Where:
Grace Church
8500 W. 159th St

friendfeedlogoSo here’s my “Monday Muse” question for us all today.

“FriendFeed” - do you have it?  Do you use it?

I stumbled upon this site a while back and created a profile but only started using it last week.  I was getting dozens of “____ has subscribed to your friendfeed” emails and wasn’t sure what that meant or why.

Basically, “FriendFeed” allows you to aggragate your online activity into one, continuous stream.  For me, that’s more than a stream, that’s whitewater rapids!  (and all my local buddies who see me at church and say “man, you twitter WAY too much” sound out a hearty AMEN)

Thanks to my buddy Scott who sent me these tips for getting started and using FriendFeed.  In addition, I’ve discovered that it can be quite Read more »
