The David Crowder * Band is putting on a concert that they are calling the Remedy Club Tour. So where do you have to travel to see this concert? Just to your local theater! That’s right, the event is taking place for one night only (Monday, August 19, 2008) from select movie theaters all over the country. You can find out more about this even at The Bigger Picture site, including finding a theater near you that is showing the event.

This is very simple and cool site that serves one purpose. The home page is filled with a listing of early church or christian writings. You’ll find the gospels there as found in the bible, but you’ll also find writings that were not included in the bible. There are letters from Pontius Pilate and many writings which I’ve never seen or heard about. Whether or not they are valid writings or whether or not they should have been included in the bible is another discussion. I firmly believe that the bible in it’s current form IS the whole Word of God… but like I said, that’s another discussion. At any rate Early Christian Writings provides some very interesting reading material.

The K-LOVE site is more than just graphics and wallpapers, but I wanted to take a second to highlight those. For anyone looking for an absolutely beautiful graphic for your desktop wallpaper (computers) that has encouraging scripture as well, this is a great source. There are about 32 various wallpapers to choose from and each comes in several different resolutions (sizes) ranging from 640×480 to 1920×1200. You can see the wallpapers at http://www.klove.com/Interact/Graphics.aspx. Stick around and see what else they have to offer as well, while you are there (podcast, blog, prayer requests and more). Here are a few more samples to get you nice and interested.

This site is a directory of Christian radio and Christian TV stations, programs, on demand, MP3 music download, and podcasting links found on the internet. If you are surfing the web and would like to listen to some Christian tunes you can just head on over and find a new station that you might like. The front page is very well laid out and you can pretty much see what you want at a glance. Plus if you don’t see what you are looking for there is a simple search form at the top of the page. It also has a link right beneath that for more detailed searching via the Advanced Search which will let you specify such things as the genre, location, language, type (see or hear), etc.
As you are browsing the site and finding the actual listings you will notice that there are icons to the left of the listing. These let you know what type of feed you will be getting whether it is a Windows Media Player feed, a WinAmp feed, Real Player, MP3 Download, etc. This is very useful information to know before you go clicking on links.
All in all I found that they had quite an extensive listing covering a fairly broad range of genres and topics. Head on over and check it out at ChristianTuner.com!

Ever want to know where Jericho was on the map, but was afraid to ask? Well, now you can see on a really cool Google Maps implementation just where the places are that you read about in the Bible. BibleMap.org has a really nifty user interface that’s extremely easy to use. Just select the book of the Bible and the Chapter that you are interested in and the map automatically updates with any of the pertinent locations within the selected verses.

I’ve been out of full-time salaried work since June 1, 2007. It’s been hard to say the least. The money well has all but dried up. The creditors call daily now, I’m juggling cutoff notices from the utilities and it’s pressing just to be able to live. My wife has gone to work waiting tables so that we can survive during this time.
Now I don’t know about you, but we receive a LOT of credit card offers in the mail. At least three a week come in with promises of zero percent interest, balance transfers and all the big life that living in debt has to offer. The other day I actually opened one and read the terms and conditions of the offer. Why? Desperation. As the main earner for our family this has been extremely hard for me to be in a position where I’m not “bringing home the bacon.” Not only that but it is a blow to my integrity when I cannot pay my financial obligations on time. I actually considered sending off this credit card offer to be able to get some relief. Is it really relief though? Or is it just postponing the pain and adding to it in the long run?
The rich rule over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender. Proverbs 22:7 [NIV]
Let no debt remain outstanding, except the continuing debt to love on another, for he who loves his fellowman has fulfilled the law. Romans 13:8 [NIV]
After coming to my senses I ripped the offer in pieces and discarded it’s remains into the trash. I am already a slave/servant to several debtors. I am actively trying to pay my way out of that bondage. Why in the world would I want to take on more debt and gain yet one more master? I have to remember that God is allowing us to go through this time for a purpose. I truly believe that no matter how angry and depressed I get some days. I also have to remember that He is my provision and certain help in time of need.
And my God will meet all your needs according to his glorious riches in Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19 [NIV]
Of course since this trial, God has shown Himself to us in many ways and is taking care of our needs. I will continue to depend on Him no matter how hard it is. I know that He will deliver us into a time of blessing that we could not even imagine. And even if He does not… it should be enough that He sent His only Son to die for me.
