Over a year ago we organized a China Task Force to begin work on translating my sermons in Chinese so that KBM could reach the 1.1 billion Chinese-speaking people around the world.

In a fascinating article published this week, Tom Hayes and Michael S. Malone argue that we have entered the era of the “ten-year century,” by which they mean that the pace of life has so rapidly accelerated that what used to happen in a century now happens in a decade. Changes that used to take generations—economic cycles, cultur…

Those who surf the Internet know that most websites have an FAQs section for questions that com up over and over again.For some time we have wanted to devote a major section of the website to answering questions about the Bib…

Marilyn Miller gave me a copy of this cartoon when we were at Mount Hermon. I think it’s the wave of the future. Or better yet, the future has already arrived.

Two weeks ago I finally joined the Twitter revolution. Although my following of 74 people is relatively small (some people have thousands of followers), it’s still an interesting an eclectic group. A program called Twittersheep analyzes the profiles of my followers to create a “Twitter cloud” from the most-used key words. Looking …

At the KBM board meeting today we talked about the fact that we are an online ministry. Since we redesigned our website in March 2008, we have had 303,662 visits from 206 countries. Increasingly we understand that we are not building a ministry in the usual sense of buying land and buildings. Not that we’re against that. We aren’t. We m…

For my last big purchase of 2008 I splurged and bought an iPhone, a picture of which I managed to take while holding the iPhone in my right hand and my camera in my left hand.

Comments are still open on all of these entries. 1) Should Pastors Endorse Candidates from the Pulpit? Not surprising that in an election year, this drew the most comments. Not everyone agreed with my answer. 2) Sleepi…
